Sounds to me like someone just doesn't like the downsides of boxing.

Be glad you don't have to micro manage fears like my arena team priest/4mage.

I always attempt to pre-mass dispel fears. If you time it right the priest can even dispel fear off himself
Fear ward the priest.... L2quick on the mass dispel fear. trinket the 2nd fear, attmept to mass dispel everyone, everyone but priest trinket the 3rd fear while priest runs behind some pillar somewhere and forgets to keep me alive
