Ward break doesn't work (as well as dispel) on 11/22/2012 10:00 AM CST
So two shamen walk into a room and they each cast ES on themselves. I tried to dispel it with WB and it didn't do anything. I tried dispel instead and it took it right off.
(WB)
You gesture at a goblin shaman.
Bands of opaque iridescence appear around the goblin shaman in a concentric hexad. Each begins to revolve along a different axis, soon collectively fading into a magical blur that can peel off protective patterns.
Your spell did not affect anything.
Roundtime: 2 sec.
(dispel)
You gesture at a goblin shaman.
Amber aether seeps into visibility, flowing in a current that ebbs away from the goblin shaman. It slowly diffuses as your spell seeks out an energy pattern to undo.
The shimmering ethereal shield fades from around a goblin shaman.
You successfully dispelled Ethereal Shield!
Roundtime: 1 sec.

I think ward break works on wards- seal ward, etc, and dispel would be more for buffs and debuffs.
Ex:
I think seal ward would block dispel, so you would ward break before dispelling a foe.
I could be wrong.

When I get back in test tonight I will try it out as well. The last time I tested with Leilond WB ripped all his buffs off no problem (high prep if I recall). However, I have yet to play with it since they ported everything over again.
Luck is nothing more than opportunity meeting preparation.

Currently Ward Break is set up to disrupt spell barriers -- like Shear or Soldier's Prayer, rather than physical protectors like Ethereal Shield or Cage of Light.
