This is a work in progress (probably always will be though). The Diminishing Return notes are still missing on a few spells. My sources are here and here (as of 10/23/14). (Keeping AJ thread and this post and this source for reference)
for later reference
Lockouts or Snares don't suffer from diminishing returns. I also have no idea if engineering bombs suffer from diminishing returns (a couple posts out there say they do, but f2p's only have access to 1sec stun bombs so it doesn't really matter).
The dispel type is listed right after the CC type. (if there is one)
Color coding:
white: available to everyone in that class
brown: talent dependent
green: spec dependent [spec in brackets]
purple: pet dependent (pet type in parenthesis)
red: prof dependent (prof in parenthesis)
orange: race dependent (race in parenthesis)
yellow: CC counter options
{Bracket} indicates what Diminishing Return category it falls in
*Indicates that the effect can be broken on damage
Snares list the movement modifier % at the end
Druid
"For those who may be unaware of how the Diminishing Returns system works, here's a brief explanation: After you've been affected by a crowd control effect in PvP, there's a 15 second window for diminishing returns. The second effect of the same category (as listed above) that is used on you will only last for 50% of its normal duration, and the 15 second window will be restarted. Should you be affected by a third effect from the same category inside that window, it will only last for 25% of its initial duration. The 15 second window will once again be restarted, and you will be immune to any further effects of that category for the duration."
