Not quite sure where to put this since you have crucible on both the tank and support pages, but I think that your substantialy underestimating the strength of the cc removal. I know at the moment that it's an ideal group of stats for most supports (as opposed to tanks who go in a gold starved duo lane), but I don't believe that the item is being bought for the stats, purely for the active, and the active is of such a strength that as long as it's possible for a support to aquire it they will unless the stats are so bad that it makes them an active liability for the team, and even then it may still be a worthwhile trade off under certian circumstances. Need to look at an alternate way of achieving some of the items tasks without resorting to cc removal.

In concept though, the rest of both the reworks you currently have up seem to be sound in terms of direction, some number tuning may need to be done once the groundwork for all of them is in place, but it looks like it covers most of the issues that the current itemisation causes.
