The immobilize on this skill is so ripe for abuse in BG's it's not even funny. I'm sure you just forgot, so I'd like to remind you to have a look at this skill. No other non-ultimate skill carries as much weight over the outcome of a battleground as this. It deals high damage, has a huge AOE, immobilizes everything, steals tons of killing blows (faster damage than Mages Wrath), procs enchants/poisons, exposes Cloak, and cheap enough to spam.
I hate asking for nerfs except when a gameplay element is so abusive that it detracts from the fun of everyone on the receiving end. You nerfed the snare on Acid Spray for reasons unknown but left this far more egregious morph untouched. There are tons of ways to address it, including (pick one or dream up your own)
1. ~30% cost increase
2. immobilize only works on targets not affected by a snare (like it used to function)
3. percent chance to immobilize - maybe 30%
4. only immobilizes targets affected by a poison effect
5. can only immobilize targets not currently CC-immune
6. becomes a single-target morph which would be dodgeable
