Shatter Storm Shatter Storm- Move to Domination Magic

Elite Spell. "Create a Shatter Storm at target foe's location. Each second for ten seconds, foes adjacent to this location take 5...15..20 damage. Whenever Shatter Storm strikes a target under the effects of an Enchantment, that foe suffers from bleeding for 0...3...5 seconds."

I figure with Fragility being an AoE hex in PvE now, this nuke could make more use of it outside of being paired with Fevered Dreams. Also, it would stand pretty well on its own. It wouldn't be OP because it would set off AI's scatter behavior, but it would cause decent damage, especially paired with Chaos Storm. Secondary Mesmers wouldn't be able to use this as effectively with the 2 second casting time, but primaries investing in Fast Casting (making use of the remaining attrib points to balance things out) would make good use of it. Additionally, with the recent update to PvE Fast Casting, the 20 second recharge would be lowered. With both the activation and recharge times being somewhat dependent on the caster's investment in Fast Casting, this skill would be saved from gimmick builds but would be used - something it is not, currently. I don't see this functionality becoming meta, but it would give Mesmers another viable build option.
