1. SM interrupt is absolutely fine for a class that has to sit close to enemy dps and tanks to KD/punt them anyway. And WL/ mara mirror is already characterised by marauder having frontal skills (channel, interrupt) and WL having 360°.
2. Not to mention WL interrupt does incomparably more damage. I would use it even if it didn't have any utility, i wouldn't use mouth of tzeentch for it's damage alone.
1. Its not fine because if your targed manages to defend from your attack, there will be no damage/buff/interrupt. Picked your closest target and that was some tank? Well, gl next time. Chose a proper target? Sure, just tab/click fast and accurate...
2. What? Really? You call THIS damage? It really deals at least some damage if manage to hit twice with this thing (you+your pet). How many AoE WLs with pet did you see in oRvR?
Echoing Roar is shockingly strong particularly because it can crit unlike every other aoe dot in WL warband build (hunters strike, jagged edge, tearing blade), not to mention it's spirit damage rather than physical. It is immensely strong compared to Mouth of Tzeentch, but then Mara gets Wave of Mutilation which comes with a WS and Ini debuff to compensate, although it can be parried which makes it a bit... eh

Engi should count since if you want a counter you have 1, also wl is good can play 2-3 in wb ofc if you arent just about slayers.....(someone may wonder why).
Literally nobody is playing pet build WL in Warband play, so to use the pull you need to get out of combat, swap tactic pages, summon your pet, charge it at a target (where it can easily be CC'd and killed along the way), and then move yourself into the comically short pull range to pull the target to exactly where you were standing when you pressed the pull button.
As opposed to when I'm playing my Mara, and literally any time I'm within 65 foot of someone to start the cast and Terrible Embrace is off CD they're 99% a guaranteed kill since I can run over 100ft away back to the middle of my warband while it's channeling. You don't really need to look much further than the average KDAs on a per faction basis on the orvrstats website and the fact that pretty much every solo rdps kda hero or smallscale roaming group plays exclusively destro because of how much safer it is due to not having to worry about pulls (as well as some other tools like Talon obv) - but the pulls are a huge part of it. Mara pull in its current state is actually super toxic for the game, and I say that as someone who has been playing Mara 90% of the time for the past few months lol. I have absolutely no idea why its been allowed to stay this way when they hotfixed things like the bugged sorc tactic pretty quickly last year showing that if something is a big enough issue Dalen or Max can still hotfix it even in the middle of the ability rework
