Knockback effects have *GOT* to go!

Has any tank lately felt like smacking a fire mage (blastwave), elemental shaman (thunder storm), or balance druid (typhoon) lately? I know for certain I have.

Why? AoE knockback! I do and dutifully group up all the mobs, position them for maximum threat and survivability, only to get them all completely repositioned, or worse knocked into melee range with a ranged class on high threat.

*SMACK*

Well maybe not, the mob took care of it for me. But then the QQ hits, and suddenly it's MY fault? WTH?

We are considering glyphs that will allow players to remove the knockback from Typhoon, Thunderstorm and Blast Wave in return for some other benefit, such as more damage or a cooldown reduction. You could then use these glyphs when raiding and not make the tanks mad.
