no, its just its really only effective against like 2 primarys (energy storage and expertise, maybe leadership) and the duration allows you to just shake it off. If the recharge was brought down it would see use.

You don't remember the original spirit spam.

Nature rituals used to effect each other, they could be enchanted, and more than one copy could easily be made. Ranger teams would crank out so many spirits and stack enchantments that they would never, ever die. Body Blocking would allow Hall Holding all day long, and while lag plagued opponents, NPCs could pick them off over time.

Atrophy is extremely ineffective. Spirit Shackles is a more effective hex on 6/10 professions.

The original Unnatural signet had a 15 second casting time, 75 second recharge, and only took away the last created nature ritual. Don't tell me that would be an effective counter for the original spirit spam, because it's not.

The original defensive spirit spam of Ritual Lord + Shelter + Union had very little downtime and was like having Protective Spirit + Shielding Hands on every member of your party almost permanently.

That's imbalanced.
