Now, ruthless brutality towards one another aside - what do you guys want to do? Remove True Strike and revert to the formula RoR used during my time, or work with the present situation? While Disrupt from Willpower is certainly high, is it desirable that healers have such significant resistance to magic in particular? Is it desirable that casters are encouraged to target classes other than healers?
I am in constant awe of how receptive to feedback you are.
It all depends on your vision for the game as a whole. The original balance DEV had this in mind when he worked on the game:

But that's not the case.
This game is just difficult to balance as a whole because of how unbalanced mirrors/archetypes are between the two factions...
If you go the "casters are encouraged to target classes other than healers?" route, then Destro will be at a disadvantage because two of their rdps classes are casters and the other is....um... while only one of Order's is.
People have suggested in the past to give caster archetypes, Magus/BW/Sorc, a Pierce Defenses of their own, which would help, but it's also easier to apply to more targets than Pierce Defenses is because of the number of AE abilities casters have as opposed to prdps- so in wb vs wb setting, it would only require 2-3? casters to debuff the enemy players.
Ultimately it should come down to what you think would work best for the game and where you see it going, as most opinions will be biased.
