/cheer for charm change! ;-)

Can someone explain the change to root breaks? it sounds like the MR check for root breaks was relaxed but random chances to break was increased? is this a net wash on root duration?

Thank god, so I dont need 100+ pr to worry about getting rogue poisoned? I can sac some mr for some extra mana/hps now? Do cleric nukes actually land 99% of the time like they used to?
