Yes, I tested with an enchanter. The effects were less pronounced because of the longer duration. A partial with an enchanter still lasts 20 or 30 seconds, with a bards much shorter duration mez, the issue is a lot more visible.
The system works the same PvE pre patch and post patch. If it did not, the mob would either have a partial duration that lasted less than 1 tick (would run everywhere) or longer (would stay perma CC'd) and that partial would flow through to each pulse. There were also very rare full resists present during the pulsing, which further backs up that they acted differently in PvE pre patch.
If this resist system stays this way, it will make mass CC efforts like what's required to break fear much much more difficult. It makes bard CC essentially useless on mobs of slightly higher level or higher than average MR. It probably won't make a lick of difference on blue trash mob stuff that people grind on, but on higher stuff it's a fucking horror show.
