It gives some classes a counter to burst focus-fire in pvp. Since multiboxing pvp relies on this strategy, yes it hurts us. It also hurts all the other non-multiboxing burst dps teams. I don't believe they're doing it to counter multiboxers, I just think they're doing it to add a little more survivability/strategy in pvp.

I personally dislike PvP, so any extra abilities to survive in PvE make me happy .
