Adding something to your bar doesn't mean your going to tier it up or do anything else but it will save your heal so time if you eat a huge telegraph and just pop yourself a small heal before going back to the boss, or your armor right before you can't get out of of a telegraph. I don't think dps will be adding to many utility abilities with the limited action sets.
.

Something they have said in their Livestreams is that due to the limited action set, they don't want to have abilities that are purely CC. Or, if an ability is purely CC it should be extremely strong. CC abilities should generally be a mix of CC AND damage or a buff/debuff. For this reason I think that DPS classes will have plenty of CC on their ability bars, especially when you add in the fact that it helps destroy interrupt armor and mobs take more damage when they are interrupted during a telegraph. Also, controlling your opponent seems like it will be a big deal in this game since the combat focuses on avoiding telegraphs and there are some crazy telegraph patterns.

Sure are! Some telegraphs are crazy. Then having them on top of each other by multiple enemies, well that could become a nightmare.
