For me the problem is minus power. The minus 5 power is the reason surges were put into raids and dungeons. They restrict us and then throw in the surges to make it feel like the dungeons before the change, but instead it just restricts players to those 2 damage types. Surges should have been a choice for the players to take advantage of, not a requirement to do even remotely close, though still less, to the damage we use to do.
