Warlock's Shift Ability

Has anyone else noticed that when you use the shift key, to skim forward over/past traps, you still take damage? Is this intended, or glitch?

Can it break CC?
not so far as i can tell...
It happens with certain boss powers, traps and also some roots.

Our shift ability reduces incoming damage if we aren't fast enough and so far from what I can tell also prevents CC effects from hitting you. Maybe I am lucky but when I shift and wasn't fast enough to get out of an area I have yet to be CC'd for my slowness as a result. As for hiding behind meatwalls, dunno what you mean I am typically upfront in the fight, not hiding in the back.
This is history. unstoppable was nerfed in mod4 and now gives a pathetic 4% DR. Devs should have made it zero instead of 5%, but then they would have had to change the animation.
Me: ARRRRRR! *uses vampiric embrace, fiery bolt, blades of VA*
Adds: ^,.,^
Me: *gets poked to death in a blink*
I don't even mention what happens when I "succefully" land GoH. All adds that have some lunging ability just slice through my defenses even when I shift.

It also depends on how you build your character, I'd guess. 'Glasscannon' doesn't seem to work so well, at least not as Fury. Personally, I'm building for Temptation anyway, but I am most likely skipping Compounded Souls, not sure yet.
As far as that I am usually active and mobile constantly, using my curse and vampricing for the bonus HP more than just healing.
I find it's animation casting time somewhat slow, a bit too slow as well as harrowstorm's.
Dungeons without CWs are so fun to play if you ask me. Sometimes I feel the CW class doesn't let others just to play the game the way they want. Yeah it's good we have a class that can win us almost any battle and mages are strong in DnD but we are playing MMO, aren't we?

In terms of efficient use of encounters its no longer useful to use Shard, since damage is pathetic per se, the prone time isnt as bad and you do not scatter the mobs all that much with shard.
Probably best to stack Coi, Icy Terrain, Time Steal and Chill Strike, or use Storm , pretty much any loadout with those combos now for a Spell/Thaum.
I find myself doing as much or more damage then I did in mod 3, but I will always miss Shard, maybe one of the single best powers in any mmo Ive played with.
Its also pretty much more of , lay down Terrain, throw anything you want to at mobs and they all die due to procs off passives.
Oh well.. such is life, Classes change, games change, ect.
Im not 60 with my SW yet.. I really love to play it solo wise so far.. but the few Dom matches Ive been in, not loving it, just get CC'd, then death and Im not even doing lvl 60 junk yet. Maybe after Im more geared out and such, Im semi Twinked, but frankly its not helping much. I dont have a weapon with a enchant slot though. Ill keep plugging away , im sure there is probably build that is sorta viable.. it helps not to be in multiple SW teams I noticed, the more.. the worse, since they have NO CC to speak of.
