Are Templars still trash?

I'm thinking I'll become a streamer for Templars and try to boost our popularity to save the class. Guest star sometime maybe?

No one wants to view a healer on Twitch unfortunately.
After long term PvP with Sorcerer and a little bit of NB, i have now turned to my templar. A bit of PvE but primarily PvP.
I must ask this... How and why do people find templars underpowered? My personal experience first-hand leads me to believe the opposite. Only class giving me a hard time is a magicka Nightblade, but only due to the constant cloaking, but if i am close enough i don't let him cloak as my Sweep interrupts any attempt at cloaking as i am upclose in his face not giving any quarter.
Sorcerers? Having a sorc myself i know all their weaknesses and memorized almost any setups, rotations and know the best counters. By speccing all out magicka damage, my Jesus beam hits so hard it goes through repeatedly stacked shields and even healing ward. Makes them panic, spam shields, and jesus beam eats them away and he can't receive any heals from the ward. The trick is to burn their stamina out first and foremost with toppling charge and total dark, after the 3 CC's it's easy meat.
I can honestly say, i am enjoying my Magicka Templar much more than i did with my sorcerer.. Haven't touched the poor guy for weeks now.
I can see why people would assume templars are weak, when i meet other magicka templars with even decent pvp rank, well.. I haven't met one who hasn't died by my hand, so does that mean templars are weak? "Oh that guy just beat me so fast, but of course he is playing a EZMODE class called templ.... Oh wait..." More like a l2p issue to me.
I do however have some concerns about skill bugs, such as toppling charge often not working, heals being unresponsive at times, but that is not a inherent issue with the class itself, bugs are just bugs.
When you successfully do your first 1 vs 5 encounter on a templar, i don't think you will be calling them weak anymore...
Seen some templars singlehandedly wreck small raids, apart from a sorcerer or a emperor, no other classes can do that. NB lacks sustain and utility, DK lacks DPS.
