Shadestep is infuriating (Destiny)

I would be happy if they just nerfed Shadestep in general. The fact that you are invincible, afaik, while you are doing it and how easy it is to use for such a useful PvP ability... There have been so many times I've dueled a hunter and had him beat to find him just shadestep away. I have actually literraly cornered a hunter against a wall ready to shotgun him in the face to find that I'm actually just shooting smoke. And there is nothing I can do about it. It's nigh impossible to chase a shadestepper if he is half way decent.

The thing is, it's not that good unless you use the animation cancel. At the end of every shadestep there's a bit of time (half a second maybe) where you're stuck in place and cannot take any actions. But the shadestep cancel exploit allows people to get out of that animation with a jump or by firing their weapon. Fix the exploit and you'll have a much easier time dealing with shadesteppers.
