Also in instances: it could work as a great wipe recovery tool in certain cases, as a way for the priest to get back to the group if they happened to die.
(my priest is lvl 55, fyi)
So, I actually agree it needed a nerf, but the numerous changes they made to it at once made the spell literally useless (I can not imagine where or when I would use it now). I understand they see a pressing need when they see farming going on, but I wish they could have come up with a more subtle solution.

As far as I know the only place where Mind Soothe was useful for farming was Maraudon. How about making some of the mobs immune to it? Or perhaps moving their locations slightly to make this technique more dangerous.
Soothe animal was a second tier spell at best beforehand. Now with the casting time it's really not of much use.
