CC is still dead, despite what was said
Q u o t e:

Q: Crowd control is all but dead in raids. Is that something you plan on bringing back?
A: Like say... with the Faction Champions encounter in ToC? ;]


<snide>You mean the fight were all CC is cut down to PvP levels and subject to diminshing returns, becoming essentially useless?</snide>

In all seriousness, our 10 man guild had the most success *after* we abandoned trying to CC and went for the fast burn instead. CC is not and has not been alive in raids or dungeons this entire expansion.

I think its a shame, too. It really added another dimension to runs instead of "tank, heal and burn"

Not many people were skipping CC for Ulduar when it first launched. Now if you're overgearing content, you're overgearing content. ToC doesn't have trash, though if you are ignoring CC for heroic champs, I'd be interesting in seeing it. Yes, the CC has PvP-like DR, but that makes smart CC an even bigger component of the fight, not something to be ignored lightly. Icecrown is a traditional yet massive and epic instance. There will be trash.
