Banning specific abilties is dumb.
I don't play brewmaster, and I don't plan to. However, telling a spec to not use one of its main abilities is extremely pointless, and an insult to players that enjoy playing the class, who have played BM @19 and other levels since MOP came out. Hey marks hunters, no aimed shot, it hits too hard. Mistweavers, we have decided that enveloping mist is too strong, don't use it. Rdruid FCs, travel form is too OP, please sit in bear form 24/7. Enhancement shamans, your damage is very high, so to compensate lets shame you as a bracket for using ghost wolf, or even existing in general. Feral druids, fuck you. Rshamans, you arent allowed to use your massive utility, because mistweavers don't have it. Affliction warlocks, UA is too hard for other healers to deal with and they are losing their minds to 4 second silences, please do not use it because it hurts the ability of other players to enjoy games. Rogues, your CC utility is broken as fuck, please never use a subterfuge/cheap shot build because no other class can CC that many targets out of stealth. Discipline priests, you aren't allowed to use bubble, it hits fucking way harder than any combination of mistweaver abilties combined, and that shit is just broken. Brewmaster monks, don't use one of your defensive cooldowns that you get by choosing your spec, because fuck you and your choice of playstyle.
It's extremely illogical. Yes, guard absorbs a lot. However..... IT'S A PUG!!!!!! Get over it. It is a spec-specific ability that a class receives for choosing a certain spec. Let them use it in a pug. It can be played around. Limiting a defensive CD of a class, in a pick-up game at that, is probably the stupidest thing that one could try to do.
