Though, I admit that they are still better than a "generic bland scene" anyway.
You know, I used to argue that it was very poetic.
..I don't make that argument anymore.
Although it's way better than some of the shit I've seen from L.E. Modesit (the first book that he published) in which I distinctly recall some of the scenes being written as such:
Ping!
Clink!
Thud!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiieeeeee!"
Next to that, I'll take Cats Dancing on Hot Sand any day of the week.

I find all of the non-channeling related combat implausible and over-dramatic

I think it does make them unrealistic. Stylistic choices determine how these scenes are conveyed.

WoT combat scenes are highly overrated. The non-OP fight scenes aresn't even scenes at all
