People have been saying for, oh...years...that it's extremely imbalanced and they hate to play against it. Don't worry, the ability has now been brought in line with the upcoming expansion. Who needs MS when you've got:
- Unholy Embrace
Instant Cast. 5 min cooldown.
Target is embraced
by a silhouette of darkness for 12 seconds, corrupting any healing
spells and effects cast upon or currently affecting the target to cause
damage for 50% of their healing potential instead of restoring health.
Any damage shields cast upon or currently affecting the target will
also be instantly consumed, dealing 50% of their absorption potential
in damage. Once afflicted with Unholy Embrace, the target cannot be
afflicted with Unholy Embrace again for 1 minute."
Take that, warriors. You're not needed anymore.
Go spec prot and be useful - Deathknights will need gear.

So you think one speel is balanced because one class will be getting somewhat of a counter or improvment? I'd say that you need a little more than that to balance such an amazing debuff as MS...

Five minute cooldowns are good. This will be really good news for 4 caster dps teams in arena.

Deathknights will just be a hard counter to healing and magic classes. Consider the following: how many classes use absorb shields and consider how many use healing? That's a good amount of counters, but we'll see how they can do against rogues, warriors, and hunters. It's not really in my opinion that MS needs a nerf, but rather than other classes need to be buffed up in the arena. As much as Rogues QQ, Hunters are probably the worst off of all the classes currently.

The Mortal Strike debuff is not, never was, and never will be, overpowered.
Maybe the damage used to be OP when it was 200% weapon damage, but most of the people playing the game these days never even experienced that.
