*Fires up Visio so he can make a flowchart in order to understand what, if anything, Cheat Death does*
The cheat death nerf fixes a very specific issue that really only pertains to high ranked 2v2 and 3v3 arenas.
Extremely well geared PvE rogues were competing well in PvP arenas essentially because of cheat death. There is a certain amount of initial control anyway with a rogue, and cheat death added 3 more seconds onto the end where they were able to survive without issue, especially when used in conjunction with their other important cooldowns or using rocket boots to zip away out of danger so they can better be healed.
This is an attempt to force rogues into wearing PvP gear if they want cheat death to work. Old way, it worked every time, regardless of gear. So someone can run around in T6 and warglaives wrecking people, get a cheat proc and cloak + sprint or rocket boots out of danger, then vanish and get healed or bandage (or eat if paired with a mage) and start in again.
