Power Burn, Power Drain & Power Technician node : Cavalier difficulty

As far as I know, Power Burn and Power Drain are 2 different things.
Power Burn inflicts damage to opponent while 'burning' their power bar.
Power Drain DOES NOT inflict damage (most cases) to opponent while 'draining' their power bar.
These 2 abilities should never be interchangeable when making a champ's description.
My next point:
In that sense, Power Technician node will not grant you passive fury if your tech champ does Power Burn instead of Power Drain.
I know because Hulkbuster doesn't get any passive fury in that EQ Cavalier 2.1.
Here is Hulkbuster's SP2 description "If the opponents block broken by this attack, all Beam attacks have a 100% chance to inflict Power Burn, draining 1 Bar(s) of Power per hit and inflicting direct damage proportional to the Power drained"
What it should says, "....burning 1 Bar(s) of Power per hit and inflicting direct damage proportional to the Power Burnt"
Because of that, I beg KABAM to never make interchangeable description between Power Burn and Power Drain in the future again.
I could argue that Power Technician node should work with Hulkbuster's sp2 because of his description, but I'm too tired to fight this issue.
If I fight for it, I don't know when you guys will reply. Maybe a year later.
I'll just accept the node doesn't work well with him and move on with life

The 5% Kinetic transference is higher than Power drain’s 2% (and even Red Skull’s armor up will decrease for every parry).
Seems only Civil Warrior can power drain. Even CapIW + tech synergy is useless, since the power drain will only happen after Defender’s SP (effectively within 1 power bar).
As if a 5th generation inbred redneck designed them.
I managed it sometimes with g2099 but it was very inconsistent.
