Depending on the hexes you choose you can go hex heavy w/o an elite nrg management skill. After all Mesmers have what, like 25 nrg management skills available? Only a small proportion of those are elites. Before it's been tested, you cannot really dismiss the skill.

Power Block I will agree is too situational to justify it's cost/recharge. Some people swear by it. I guess it's a matter of playstyle.

Insecurity... I believe you mean Instability. The benefit of the KD is that it bypasses interrupt protection. Unless they have an interrupt protection and a KD protection on, they will get KD-ed. Mantra of Resolve does nothing to stop PInstability. Plus KD gives makes for some interesting combinations plain interrupt doesn't (like Earthbind, Brambles, etc.). But it's true, it is a strange skill. It is best used with Wailing Weapon versus Warriors/Assassins/Rangers.

SS does save you points into FC but you really don't need much to make it effective in the first place. That's why I feel its a wasted elite. Would much rather have a more disrupting affect from my mesmers.

PI is nerf worthy with dwarven battle stance and "On your knees!"...you heard it here first folks; another one of EE's crazy ideas.
