Return of Reckoning

Single target skills would stay superior due to their higher single target damage and the extra 5 feet range. If this won't be the perfect solution, my plan B would be to redesign Ruin and Destruction (morale 2) once again.

Why?
When Ruin and Destruction got changed, BW was able to stay at 100 combustion and spam Scorched Earth during movement w/o losing combustion. He also had the old Closed Quarters for more damage which made the stun pretty OP. Now after the AoE nerf in general and the specific tactic/skill changes to BW, i don't see a reason to not give him a 4s AoE stun on his M2. It would help preventing enemies from kiting and make the BW more viable in open world largescale PvP.

Just no your amazing DPS is a more then adequate trade off for any perceived lack of mobility.

As I said, I don't consider it a buff, I want to open up a tactic for BW's which will add more versatility but reduce general damage by removing one of the more necessary tactics in order to utilize the change.

From what I gather, the people opposed to this are biased against BW's and are thinking in terms of "Lol bomb bright wizard doesn't need more dmg QQ" but it's to add versatility to a class that completely lacks any of it at the cost of a very important tactic slot. It's subjectively better because what you DO have to give up, but it does open up an option for certain play styles.

And perceived lack of mobility? have you not played BW?
