What changed and why is this skill so much worse than it was before the IC patch? I'm confused..

How is it worse than before?
You can still take on a bus coming at you at 50 mph and still survive.

Befor IC, you could not be targeted and only hit with AoE's or Light/Heavy attack's.

After IC, you can be hit by everything. Gap Closer's, Meteor's, you name it.. it can hit you.

[edit]
-This was for console without tab targeting.

This is not true at all. If the person tab targeted you, single target attack could hit you all day long.

Now I don't know if maybe people just got better or use the new tab targeting more, but it's true. As my favorite thing to do since the release of the game is to perma root the mistformer via Ambush, Talons, Bombard, Prison or what have you.

This is on console. There is no such thing as tab targeting. I'm assuming op is from console.

Befor IC came out for console, you could not target anyone using mist form. So you had to blindly light/heavy attack in hope's you were hitting them or use an AoE near them. It was literally impossible to kill a magicka dk or sorc while they were spamming mist form. You had to follow them around until they had 0 magicka left. You would literally see 20+ people following 1 magicka dk using mist form.

After IC came out, they fixed mist form so you can target them. Now that it is fixed, people are dropping left and right when they have 4+ target's on you even in mist form. So it's not abused as a cheap get out of jail free card anymore.

Sorry i did not clarify my comment was about console. This was probably never an issue for you guy's with tab targeting on PC.

Right, I am on console. Before we couldn't be targeted by things like gap closures and meteors. There wasn't anything in the patch notes from what I remember so I don't understand why/how they changed this.. It's not a huge deal but it definitely hurt my Templar's escape/survivability.

I think it would be fine if you could be immune to snares too while in mist. As is, you mist, they snare you (no magicka regeneration), and you die. Also, Radiant Destro/Oppression seems to ignore the mist 75% damage shield...
