with the increase of CC's to Gwfs, GF,s CW, (even hrs are using boars charge now) DC's are in a bad position, since they have no real immunity to cc's, they only get 2 dodges, and are already hindered by a nerf to their self healing along with healing depression.
Some things that should be implemented and could assist DC's in surviving and being able to play their class.
-adding CC immunity to exaltation.
-increasing their self healing by ~10-15%
(Or even give them a incoming healing bonus of a base 10-15% since there is a stat for that now)
-mabey reduced cooldowns on healing word/astral shield
---please post constructive feedback and ideas that could actually be used---

The need to make the buff tree for the cleric actually do a great job so groups won't consider taking another DPS. I don't think they need more self healing i just thing armor pen needs adjusted for a cleric. Currently there is no reason to use it pve and pvp for healing purposes. I would suggest adding a healing bonus to armor pen thus negating some of the previous nerf a little and making armor pen a more useful stat for pve and pvp. This would also allow people to not go insanely crazy trying to accomplish dailies on their cleric.
I think astral shield is fine as it is any cool down then we would fall back into mod 1 problems of just spamming it. Healing word i think could be reduced more but i fell their other spells need adjusted prior to these. The other spells are just useless making everyone run the same encounters. Bastion of health needs an overhaul possibly increase radius. I also believe their at wills needs adjusting as well.
Basically the cleric just needs a massive change which i hope they do for mod5 which they have announced something will be done.
DCs are in dire need of CC immunity, it'd be great if it's added to exaltation, but I know DO won't be happy since Prophecy of Doom is a piece of <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> in comparison (well it already is).
And we need feats rework, we have some of the worst feats in the game (e.g. Initiate of faith, Templar's domain, Domain synergy and many more...). Even our capstone feats are close to useless.

My focus here is PVP, of course, where everyone knows that the DC can't hurt you. What I'm proposing is to change that dynamic to "the DC can't hurt you... unless you hurt them".
Fast revival, when another player is in the dying countdown, make it so a healing effect will revive the character immediately instead of having to walk over and take 3 or 4 sec to basically get them to their feet. The current situation is <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> and like this "Yes my companions, stand in the awesome power of my Astral Shield. Heal wounds and shrug off even the mightiest of blows. Relish in the power that my divine spells can buff you by but be warned! Should you fall, I may have to come over and pick you up because as great as my divine gifts are, they lack the strength to pick a food up of the floor..."
Awesome divine power to heal? Check. Devastating debuff capabilities? Check. Power to pick up and heal an ally who's knocked down? Sorry, gotta do that by hand...
The Leader/healer should have faster revival times and an immediate revival through healing. It'd just dumb not to. You could easily tie this to single target healing effects like Healing Word or Soothing Light without it being game breaking at all.
While we're at it, how about a ressurection power? You want to improve a DC's value then there's no better way then by giving them the power to prevent a wipe. Give them a power or feat that can ress an ally without having to resort to a **** artifact.
I like the cc immunity idea. Maybe change a feat to Divine Intervention - DC has a 5/10/15/20/25% chance to ignore control effects against a single attack. Has a 15 sec cooldown once procc'd.
I don't like the retribution proposal as that is more of a GF type thing

I would absolutely love it if CC immunity were added to Exaltation. Or included somewhere in the feats. It would go a long way to helping DCs survive long enough in PvP that they can actually heal.
