TLDR Below
This isnt about wether or not blink is overpowered because it can be countered but its difficult for the average player and most of the problem isnt blink alone its shotguns and the lack of other sub classes being able to compete with blink. I just feel a nerf is just the easy way out rather than hitting the problem at the source, other classes need additional movement options. The new Sunbreaker titan can get something called "Strafe Jets" or "Solar Dash" allowing them to make 1 or 2 quick lateral movements sideways or backwards a short distance with a cool down. The new Stormbringer warlock can get "Electic Slide" allowing them to move forward or backward quickly for a short duration but the energy is channeled through theiar hands so they are vulnerable during the movement and a small delay when cancelled early before a weapon is readied (this would encourage the use of the barely used "quick draw" perks).
If Bungie isnt going to give other classes some dodge skills then maybe blink can have an additional 1 second on the coold down or some small change, but any more than that would be too much as blink makes some jumps difficult that are easily achieved otherwise in pve. There already exists pve content were blink is not an option and blink is a survival tool in tuff situations outside of pvp.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1-2oKoFhOw at 25:40 you hear fizzor, triplewreck and other elite pvpers agree "blink is not gamebreaking" and "there are ways to counter it".
I made for you guys with a few tips to deal with blink. First titans check out planetdestiny' s video for maximizing titan speed with tips on manuevers, all the hunters out there this is known to few but I going to spill the beans. Use better control with bones of eao and you can outdistance blink and in some cases out manuever as you will see at the end of my vid.
TLDR:This isnt about if its op or not, its op because other sub classes can't compete and it's not blink alone, a large part of the issue is shotguns. To me the root of the problem is the lack of unique movement among the titans and other sub classes. Example: Titans (sunbreaker) should get a dash for short distant lateral movements with cooldown, Warlock (stormbrinber) should get a unique slide movement for short distance forward and backward movements while being vulnerable during animation (even new hunter class has shadestep).
EDIT:
Im tired o my all the mindless posts about my k/d going to drop. First of all your proving my point, secondly 4361 fusion riffle kills and 1233 shotgun kills, http://destinytracker.com/destiny/crucible/ps/DaReapa . End of story any further posts about it will go ignored.
