I think there is a clear difference between utility and tools to be strong against a caster and tools and utility to completely overpower and oppress them.
It seems you have trouble seeing that difference allow us to shed some light on it.

It’s ok to have these tools if they are balanced within reason. Creating pressure on a caster and his healer through them is where they should fall. Being able to survive an otherwise fatal situation to another class with the assistance of your healer is ideal

A not ok example is for your healer to sit in 16 seconds of crowd control while you gleefully giggle and facetank every caster cooldown and damage button thrown at you while you chase them around the pillar severely out of position like some deranged tank player as you chop away with deathstrike mitigating every point of damage thrown at you as spellwarden repeatably procs. Afterwards you proudly exclaim “these kids are trash lmao”
All dks have been in category 2 for a bit too long its time to tune things down some. The nerfs were fine.
