It's not really love, it's fixing something that should have been fixed a long time ago. Should a level 50 healer be chain interrupted by a level 5 grey con pet?
Interruption should be at least a little challenging, since it has such a profound effect on some classes (casters/healers). If you want a pet to interrupt you should have to spec to get that pet to a level where he can interrupt by dealing damage, else I'm guessing thats not what the class was designed to do.
Saying nearsight, mez, debuffs etc shouldn't interrupt is common sense really, especially if they are interrupted. One night I kept a whole group+ of hibs interrupted at mtk with the grey near sight (which was resisted 90% of the time)- thats silly, and it's this that contributes to some classes (like the bd) having more utility than was probably intended.
It might even make tanks more necessary again in open warfare in NF, since it wouldn't be a simple matter of 'sic grey con pet' or 'spam aoe amnesia/mez' to keep casters interrupted.
Anyway that's just my opinion, I think that's the only aspect of a BD that is possibly overpowered, and only due to shit interrupt code.
To the guy that said BDs require less healing in a group: first thing that happens usually is that the group gets AoE mezzed at some point, which will leave healer pets out of play for the duration due to no transferable resists and very low level, unless the bd trades off nuking for demezzing his pets. give higher con pets
