NB fear changes

NB fears have needed a rework for a while, so I was glad they were getting looked at. Mass Hysteria actually looks solid now with no cap and major cowardice.
The trap morph got screwed, though. I use it currently on my healer and the trap under my feet has saved me several times. Now, they removed that and cut the fear to 2 seconds. In pvp, 2 seconds or 10 seconds are basically the same thing, as everyone just breaks out asap, but in pve, dropping from 4 seconds to 2 seconds is a big deal.
Also, compared to the necro remote totem, the new fear trap is completely outclassed. A ranged fear the fears for 4 seconds, adds minor prot, and reapplies to any new targets entering.
I propose keeping the trap's second trap, increasing the fear to 5 seconds, and even removing major cowardice (maybe change this to minor). This would separate the two morphs (their reasoning for removing the local trap to begin with) while keeping both versions as pretty strong fears and a real choice between morphs: local, unlimited cap, shorter fear with persistent debuff vs ranged, larger spread potential with significantly longer fear.
