Using DC for snap aggro is as classic as being able to hand stuff to npcs and no item links. To refer to it as a "non classic nicety" is as absurd as the class having to use it for aggro to begin with. The live devs didn't break it (by fixing it) till Luclin sometime, when they were shocked to find that an entire third of the tank classes had been using a level 1 Necro spell with taunt issues as a class staple for years since release. Shadow Knights the world over rejoiced and marked their calendars as being once of about 3 occasions they actually listened to us. Then they took 4 months to add replacements. I'm pretty sure a lot of paladins and warriors were rolled during that time and for good reason. I rolled my rogue and never looked back, personally.
Nicety. It's the same as clerics not being able to heal or enchanters not being able to mez. And it didn't happen till luclin and isn't classic.
