How about an AOE Dispel Magic?

As a way to handle frost nova, for example.

Wouldn't that mean frost nova was overpowered?

No. Frost Nova is a form of CC. AoE Dispel would be absolutely overpowered.

Sometimes you don't need a way of handling things. Vanilla WoW's balance is based around a game of rock paper scissors, at least in terms of PvP. PvE balance is based around warriors, as we know already.
Elmhoof - 60 Boomkin
Tacheka - 41 Melee hunter (Planned secondary main)
Anbone - 36 Shadow Priest (Idk what I'm doing with him)

The laser chicken called to me. And so I answered.

What I see is in PvE, sometimes everyone is frozen, and I want to un-freeze them all at once.

I have AOE as a mage, with damage. I have AOE healing as a priest. Why not AOE dispel? why so strange?

But note here I am thinking here about use on friendly players, only, though - remember, I detest PvP in WoW, which I think utterly and inherently broken, so I'm not talking about PvP. I'm not thinking about dispel on hostile players as a debuffer.

I agree only if this will get 3 sec cast time, get CD like 3 min and require reagent to perform and be unlocked as capstone of some talent tree.

I think warriors are best candidates for this. They desperadely need some utility in raids except top damage and top tanking.
Nothing to do here. Signing off.
