Blockcasting is only useful to the magicka builds. It is an overpowered game mechanics allowing people to mitigate a lot of damage while dealing a lot of damage, with a good usage of both the stamina and the magicka pool.

But blockcasting is a no go to stamina builds, and the way it is proposed to be nerf'd will nerf their ability to defend themselves against their enemies.

So the propose change will:
- nerf the magicka builds, which were abusing this game mechanic - good point
- nerf the stamina builds, which will no longer be able to defend themselves in Cyrodiil - wrong decision

A better solution would have been to nerf the damage people can deal while blocking.

Blockcasting is a broken mechanic?? You could have argued that in 1.5, but right now there is absolutely no reason to complain about permablocking/block casting since every class can CC through block...
This nerf is not a useful one, nor has it been asked for...

Also don't encourage for a stamina whip ! Because then I'm sure us magicka builds will be stuck with the *** bugged morph when lava whip is our only reliable class dps skill

Only fear can ignore the blocking stance.

Wrong,

Nightblades have both Fear and Agony
Dragonknights have Petrify
Templars have Spear Shards
Sorcerers have Rune Prison

Ok, I was talking about AOE CC in Cyrodiil.
