Good for areas with little hexing from mobs. Buffs mesmers because it makes hexing better and interrupting easier. Also buffs monks since hex removal would be more important.

Kind of like a weakened version of Icy Ground.

Perhaps make the elites have two effects? The damage idea for GC is a good one, and it could be extended along with an additional section.

So it would look like....

GC: fire damage increase, burning duration extended
Quicksand: earth damage increase, speed reduction
Famine: cold damage increase, weakness duration extended
Lacerate: physical damage increase, direct damage while bleeding
Equinox: lightning damage increase, -special effect goes here-

Thus providing elemental boosts across the board, plus synergy with conditions?

Interesting ideas. I'll add them to the OP. It would be great if something like this could make rangers, nuking eles, and mesmers more viable (too bad it probably won't happen :/).

Muddy Terrain looks like it would be good with tank n' spank. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Spirit lvl should be scaled with att 1 per point with a 2 lvl spirit per 0 att points. Wouldnt be great if expertise reduced spirit and traps recharge 2 or 3% per point ? so that secondaries cant abuse them in case their effects got buffed.

Aside from quicksand I like the ideas mentioned. With hammer wars getting their update today, I think that an QS would be too powerful.
