The puller should be granted RD and CW3 buff upon a successful pull. Plus they should automatically take 50% less damage (Stackable w/Guard) because they are bringing the danger to their personal range.

This is a bonkers argument. If this was true, that CC must fire and be reliable, then tanks KD and punt would also be undefendable or rely on a defense check that their main targets don't have (ie. punt can now be dodged, no more of that parry or block !). They are what makes or break a fight 90% of the time in 12v12 and less. Yet... the argument has basically never come up. And, in the tank game, having to deal with humongous amount of parry/block from opposing tanks forces you to be super mindful of when you punt, or it forces you to use KD then punt to ensure the punt isn't avoided when you have any amount of latency.

But I guess that doesn'T have to apply to mara and WL... cause their CC is more important than tanks

Tank CC is not int-based: 9 times out of 10, you will land it. You need a modicum of strength, or to simply go behind the opponent's back, for a KD/punt. I can probably count the amount of times I have had my KD/KB evaded on one hand: vs MDPS/heals/RDPS, you will never miss, and vs tanks you need only go behind their back. Marauder pull was int-based, and regularly unsuccessful pulls were the norm. You cannot compare an int-based form of CC on a str-stacker to a str-based form of CC on a tank who should have a decent amount of strength anyway.

The 'issue' of landing a KD or punt is nowhere near as severe as trying to get off a pull used to be.

As Nath said, all is subject to alteration pending on feedback.
