Has DOF/ Zeal ward be nerfed, or is it just now that the guys I take on hit to hard?

<DIV>I have noticed that my DOF spell or Zeal now, doesn't seem to last like it use to. Before it use to ward for the full time period and take damage the whole time, now I notice that ones it has used up all the 384 damage that the buff give, which with a double up blue can be 1 or 2 hits, the ward is gone. Is it just me or has it always been like this.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lvl 30 Pally</DIV>

<P>I has all been that way, the harder mobs are hitting u for more now.</P> <P>The ward last for 1) full time, mobs not hitting for all the ward hp</P> <P>                            2) short time, mobs are hitting u for lots of hp, once the ward hp are up it drops</P>

<DIV>I't sucks really once u hit the higher end game your heals/wards become useless, they are supposed to make up for our lower avoidance and mitigation being lower but take up way too much power.  At level 50 using both take's up 300 power and stops about 1300 in damage finding yourself "lop" on higher mobs is quite common making manna buffers not a bonus but a necessity.  This is an issue I wish we pallies bring to the attention of the devs.  If guards can survive the mob, zerkers can kill the mob faster and pallies are supposed to heal and ward too make up the difference why does it cost so much power to do this?</DIV>
