DB changes, Poisons, Shields, and Rune Cage?

Waffennacht

So with the up coming changes in DB, in particular everyone having access to shields and Poisons being able to reduce resources I have a question in terms of combat.

Will Rune Cage, I believe it is the only Magicka CC sorcs have access to that lasts longer than 5 seconds, become the way to burst an opponent?

Now, for the most part, in combat, rune cage is rather ineffective (nor necessary) against a stam build. In DB im going to assume a Resto Staff with poison to reduce stamina will allow for a more reliable Rune Cage. Resto heavy does not interrupt Rune Cage, (neither does Soul Assault) making it the only CC magicka sorcs have that out last shields.

The idea, I suppose, is a magicka equivalent of the DK method of timed burst after a successful CC.

Theoretically Soul Assault on a Rune Caged Opponent should be GG.

The only issue I see would be the timing of moves like Wrath, Frag and streak that cause CC and therefore immunity, or damage and dispelling Cage.

Do you think it's viable?

The problem with your plan is that it means giving up the Defensive Rune morph, which might be the only thing protecting Sorcs from ganks now that we're not likely to be keeping 100% uptime on shields in between fights.
