I made a suport WD yesterday and noticed some weird behaviour on reflect damage packs. It felt that even tho I was keeping my horrify up mobs would sometimes activate their reflect damag affix when I was trying to use mass confusion. If I didnt bother with mass confusion they never casted it. Any of you guys has experience with this behaviour? I want to use confusion for the 20% damage boost but if theres a risk of reflect activating its obviously not worth it on reflect packs.
Nope, it doesn't. Something else must have happened - I basically sometimes spam both and mobs are constantly CC'ed. How much CDR do you have? I feel that if you have below 55%, a bit of server lag, game lag (4.15bp DHs, Firebird's wizards), or simple mistakes can make the CC break for just a split second.
Theres no way it falls off. I only have about 3 seconds cooldown on my horrify and its up for 6 seconds. There is no way I have a 3 second delay. My profile can be found here http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Willemh-2886/hero/49888977. Am I missing something?

It's not up for 6 seconds. CC effects have diminishing returns; not sure what the cap is, but in Inferno it was 65%, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's 65% or even 75% now. If we assume it's 65% it means that your Horrify is up for 2.1 seconds which would explain why it falls off. That being said, you have relatively high CDR as far as I can see and it should work (I have 55% with a 7 seconds mask and mobs are completely shut down, all the time, even without Gogok procs). Not sure what's happening here. Are you maybe moving too much out of the mobs? On dangerous packs, I'm not moving out a split second but stay with the mobs.
Mass confusion breaks horrify?
