Decreasing the mobility of your opponent does not magically increase yours. Here is the definition of mobility so you can understand it yourself: 'capable of moving or of being moved readily from place to place.'
Playing semantic games doesn't make your point any smarter. In PvP, mobility is relative. It doesn't matter how fast you move; rather, it matters how much faster you move than your enemies. I guess I was expecting too much of you that I didn't bother pointing that out. You'll have to explain why you're determined to tout the value of a faster movespeed and I suspect the answer is because you really like Ghost Wolf and can't think of a way to play without IGW.
There's no way in hell you're going to consistently pull off 1v2s and 1v3s with that much emphasis on defensive play. I seriously question if you've ever won 1v3s.
You know, there's nothing remotely resembling a coherent point or argument in there. Just a lot of strongly-worded language saying "It shouldn't work because I said so." It doesn't make you a clever boy. And PvP is all about cleverness.
And since you are framing NS as strictly defensive, I'm going to remind you that how you use NS really depends on the circumstances. Mind, if you have an ugly 1v2 or 1v3 headed your way, you could easily NS+Ghost Wolf and get the hell out. You could save your NS for a heal so that you don't get killed from a burst spike or go too low after you kill the first guy. You could also try to burst one out immediately (really you should be doing this anyway) and then take out the rest. And maybe you won't even need NS. It all depends on the circumstances.
At the end of the day you're just trying to pretend really hard that your 31/7/13 spec is better for Shamans than 30/0/21 and frankly I think you're deluded. Particularly when you are pushing for 2/2 Improved Ghost Wolf rather than 2/2 Guardian Totems.
