Remove the stun from “high damage abilities” such as dizzying swing.
I can guarantee you at least 60% of those that complained about the crystal frags stun spam dizzying swing
A long time ago Wrecking Blow used to give both stun and empower on next attack. ZOS changed it so that one morph gave a stun and the other one gave empower.

Actually, for a while BOTH morphs had a stun and were also uninterruptible (besides CC obviously), but the other morph of wrecking blow did something else (that was deemed inferior to the empower).
This change to crystal frag is more like changing Wrecking Blow to just empower, and dizzying swing to have a CC AND be interruptible.
I mean in the end, it's whatever. Good sorcs will still be good sorcs, and the mediocre/bad sorcs will just be worse.

Indeed now all they need to do is remove the cast time and or grant Crystal Blast the same proc chance and then we can really compare the changes between Frags and WB.
In all seriousness you can't compare the changes to the skills because they both work in different ways both Wrecking blow and Dizzy swing have a channel time and so all they did was make you choose between empower and CC.
Frags and Blast are different in there core concept as in one has a cast time and the other is a free form of proc damage like the NB spectral bow. If both morphs worked in the same way then there wouldn't be an issue. My feedback on the PTS on this change was drop the AOE damage give Blast the chance to proc and then blast has the CC portion where frags was the empower.
Nobody has time to sit there and hard cast blast for a little AOE damage and some CC I've got bosses or players smacking me about while I'm trying to perform my party trick.
