EMP already gives Terran a 50% HP lead on their entire army over the Protoss army if their EMPs are well placed. I really think revealing cloaked units as well is too much (especially since T has plenty of detection), it de-cloaking in BW was fine as it did not do nearly as much shield damage as it does now. Also in BW there was a clearly visible projectile from the Sci-Vessel when it fired the EMP, in SC2 the EMP is instantaneous with no projectile - making it basically impossible to dodge (unless you get lucky).

I have a question about this, how long does EMP reveal cloacked units? I assume it's not permanent?

Apperantly, some people think EMP doesnt uncloack anymore/just uncloacks DT's/whatever - that's not true! Just make sure to target properly!
