Is agony and its morphs blockable in pvp?

I imagine so...but am just curious.

Can't be blocked or dodged.

No, damage over time effects are not blockable.
But I guess you mean the disorient effect ? Disorents like petrify and rune cage are not blockable, so agony should be not any different.
But mass hysteria does everything better than agony in terms of CC. Don't take agony for its CC component, that's not viable. And honestly, the damage over time effect from agony is not so scary in my opinion.

Cripple is the mighty dot

I'm pretty sure OP was referring to the disorient effect from it.

Thanks for the answer. I was referring to the disorient effect. I agree mass hysteria is a great skill, but I was thinking of using agony since it has a 28 meter range rather than only 6 meters.

The problem with using it as a CC is the disorient breaks when they take any damage to their health pool, making them essentially get free CC immunity if you hit them and break the disorient straight away.

You can do fun things like drop a meteor then use agony so they can't block it, though.
