the only problem with respec, duel-balancing wise, is when people turn their fb into blizz or bow into java etc - this must be banned and can easily be checked
apart from that i don't see what's causing the heat
in case of sorcs, the only opponents where using vita build without es is useful is trap assassins and fb/light sorcs
in the case of dueling fb/light sorcs its not just balanced by the fact that it's mirror, it will also enhance chances of blizz/orb vs fb/light since they can go non es and play offensive themselves.. in general playing vita+nones favours offensive playstyle since you don't run out of mana and have to go back to regen - i'm sure most will agree that offensive svs is more fun than 2 offscreen sorcs trying to snipe eachother.
in the case of assassins, it allows tg - which balances this matchup - and again it allows sorcs to play offensive instead of having to go offscreen and trying to snipe
all other chars are hardly/not effected at all by the choice of using es or not and stating vita or energy.
and in the case of all other chars, its either obvious when a hammerdin suddenly doesn't stop to charge or bow suddenly one-hits you with charged strike etc.
concerning respecing ama to 20 avoid / jab etc - what's the problem with that? the effects will hardly be the decisive element of the duel's outcome.
a good ama will win with or without additional 5% chance to dodge an attack, and a bad ama will lose either way.
