"At times I wished I had chosen to become an Outlander instead of joining the Fortress, I really could have gone either way with my role. I believe that some players would have internally imploded in on themselves if Jack Blaguar would have had the insect swarm ability. Wow. That's a thought."

I'll go on record and say, after Xasivus, I will seriously consider replacing insect swarm with an alternative option if a deadly air shifter is ever up for Outlander leadership again. That ####'s crazy. The only reason I didn't do anything about it at the time is because I had a mortal that was getting repeatedly trounced by Xasivus, and taking action at that point would have been a conflict of interest.

But now that I've had some distance - I'll still maintain the "that's #### crazy" opinion of deadly air shifter + insect swarm. So no need to regret - if you had been Outlander and up for Sunwarden, I'm almost positive that I would have either goaded a coder into some minor modifications to insect swarm in relation to shapeshifter use, or just replaced it with something else.
