Feel, and that is very subjective. For some that is being effective. For others this is survivability while for others it might be control.
I am happy taking on a handful of targets with a primarily single target specialist; stunning some, and placating others while dealing with a hard target. I can be the hot knife through butter one target at a time and be pleased,
I am happy using fear and slow together, while again working through a group solo or with a team.
The whole AoE without consequences steamrolling of huge mobs while racing to acquire the best loot gets repetitive and boring. Your mileage may vary.
