Really?
DD I is The Best Perk Ever
IA V is Completely Useless*
*Mage: you need Spirit Shield, Haste, Shadow Veil and Spark of Life. Not protection, as 1 cast is long enough for most arena's and for the real battles, like IW and PFFEST, you will be using scroll of protection. Melee: you don't need even 4.
My mouse only has 7 buttons, I need IA V to be able to play mage style with only 1 hand (arenas only). This is really important to me, since I usually do something else with my left hand while playing HV (like answering messages on my phone, or using the keyboard shortcuts of any other app I'm using while playing).
How I usually play:
[attachmentid=123225]
(in linux mouse keys and hover works on browser even if it's not the active window, but for each cast of protection I need to click on the browser to make it the active window, and then click again on whatever other app I'm using, two additional clicks per cast :c)
Yes, one cast is enough for most arenas, but the last three needs one additional cast (or two very close to the end in DwD if enigma didn't triggered at least once), it isn't much but each additional cast mess up my pace and makes me frown (and the cost is half of DDI iirc), but yeah I'm more inclined to DDI.

Personally, I don't use neither Haste nor Spirit Shield as mage during arenas. Waste of mana. To top it off, haste hinders the effects of draughts.
Haven't tried skipping on SS or Haste, maybe I'll try it tomorrow.
