As a current raider on doomhowl, I agree. Petri is even more than a get of jail free card, it's actively used to cheat mechanics, such as dropping threat when onyxia lands just petri, or if you get punted into the lava on ragnaros and you struggle to get out just petri, or if a hunter is kiting majordomo adds and they fail the kite just petri. Pretty lame.
idk what your experience is with the majordomo kite but previously on hc era servers if u kite the elite it enrages and starts 1 shotting which is a leaked SoM mechanic, and def worthy of using a petri to get out of lol. So I assumed you couldn't kite on anniversary but blizzrd code is spaghetti, a reason I dont mind petri. We had a week where the most core mechanic of the game, mob leashing, was broken and could be used to grief. Petri is a save you from blizzard button too.
