Cocoon is what UMD scroll healing used to be, the only difference being it doesn't freeze you for 3+ seconds while using it.
As opposed to heal scrolls for which you didn't need mana. Yeah, really game breaking.
Heal scrolls required an investment in UMD and, pre-MoTU, typically item swaps for most barbs/fighters/monks/rangers. And, as mentioned, it took you out of dealing damage for 3+ seconds. And it doesn't have a follow on healing for 9 seconds.
So, one click of the mouse and you barely break your attack animation vs. stopping your attacks, swapping 1-2 items of gear, switching to scroll, scrolling, switching back to weapon, switching gear back, resuming attacks. So you have somewhere between 5-7 clicks. And you get one heal vs. 4. In a heavy damage situation, if you needed to do it every 6 seconds, you would be losing 50% of your DPS vs. losing maybe 1%.
And the build implications on skill points and stat points is also not minor.
I think I can see why Krieg10 kicked your ass in the PvP-Pit on the Cavern.
