Grip/Mass Dispell are not raid buffs, stop designing encounters around them.
Title - it's beyond stupid that you're simply "supposed" to bring two of a class to even properly play a fight.
So we got twin drakes down after som pain with 1 dk but it was doable, and now here's lightblinded shit heads.
Sure, mass dispelling their bubbles is a cool gimmick, it's not run ending if you can't do it simply a bit annoying, perfect use case for mass dispell.
What is unforgivable is Also having the avengers shield on the entire raid, meaning if you're not running misweavers or multiple priests you're just fucked, a healing fight suddenly amps the healing requirements to 11
And it's going to be the same thing on alleria, not having double grips is going to penalize us so damn hard.
TL Dr - raid buffs are "minor" increases your character offers other characters in a group environment, it is NOT an ability as a sole answer to a mechanic.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
