Stripping leaderweapons

Whip-spec wraps a chain flail around your weapon, stripping it from your paw! A short runed spear with a long, wide blade named 'Redemption' flies right to Whip-spec and he catches it! You yell 'Help! Whip-spec just stripped my weapon from me!' Whip-spec is covered with bleeding wounds. Only thought it a bit amusing that considering that there is no other way (that I know of) for others to get a hand on these weapons that these specs are able to catch them. I've nothing against the stripping in itself, it's the catching part that bugs me. Feature/bug/by design? Jirash
