What about the three DoT songs that only worked if you cast them on
yourself?

I'm also surprised they don't have a way to test things on the test server
totally separate from what they patch in as an emergency fix. That tells me
that the only test server they have is THE test server. It also suggests
that the only testing they do is User testing by us. I seriously do not
believe they know what a coordinated, organized, methodical testing process
is, much less that they think they should use one.
