The only remotely comparable skill is Vault (move 35 yards). Was Smoke Screen better than Vault? Sure! Why? Because Vault sucks. Solution? Improve Vault. Smoke Screen only became over-powered in combination with Multishot with the Suppression Fire Rune (essentially, instantly recharges Smoke Screen). Which was over-powered? Smoke Screen, or Suppression Fire? Should Smoke Screen have been nerfed, or Suppression Fire nerfed/changed?
Those inferno boss solo guys skipped multishot and instead used night stalker with crazy crit rates. There's stupid tricks you can pull with preperation too. So yeah, I'd say smoke screen is the right thing to nerf (not that some of these other things might also need looking at.) Immunity plus aggro drop PLUS cc break is just too strong an ability to chain solely to a spammable resource. Saying vault sucks by comparison isn't saying much, everything sucks next to god mode.
The current fix isn't best, but it's just a server-side hot fix they could throw down quickly. Ideally its duration should be longer plus a moderate cooldown to prevent chaining.
