First off, thanks for taking up the task of re-balancing classes. You won't be able to please everyone. It seems like you've gotten a fair amount of response from raiders and red-line LMs (which makes sense due to the trait changes being mainly red). As a blue line LM, who doesn't stretch much beyond 3 man content, I'll give some feedback from what I see.
1. I'd like to ask you to remember that pet interactions are important to some of us. I'd hate to see the few options we have for interacting with our pets get lost in the shuffle. I'm talking about WF heals, Sweep power restores. They need to be scaled up to be useful, but I'd like to see them remain.
2. Removal of the buff trait for the flank heals I'd also like reconsidered. If the base heal for flanking was scaled to a reasonable level, then this boost trait would again be useful for those who are looking to sacrifice some damage traits for some 'toughness'.
3. Thanks for the buffs to our heals, that is one of the helpful things even blue line can bring to the group. I'd recommend considering moving the heal traits in the yellow line down a bit so that they are easier to cross-pick.
4. CC is one of the main reasons I play this class. Please remember that there are many times where we want to focus our damage on one target so as not to break CC. I'd prefer not to see the change mentioned about using gust of wind to upgrade burning embers, and simultaneously making it aoe. That would mean that when we're in tight quarters CC'ng we wouldn't be able to upgrade burning embers.
Thanks again.
p.s. While you are poking around, could you fix the old blue line essence 'essence of the beast' so that it works again? It doesn't work currently on live.
