Has Dr Voodoo been nerfed or is he just limited in usefulness?

I'm a newer player and have read a lot of lists naming Dr Voodoo as the top Mysric ChAmpion and a few even as the top champion in the entire game. It makes me scratch my head - either I simply don't know how to use him or he is only good in certain situations.
My top 3 mystics would be
Ghost Rider - huge regeneration can be triggered multiple times, bleed immune, bleed damage, and a good power drain
Guillotine - the mystic wolverine - continuous regeneration and bleed damage
Magik - power lock on special 2 lasts long enough for you to keep locking it so that opponent never gets a special off after their first. Limbo can be powerful as well.
On the other hand, Voodoo seems weak. Dr Voodoo has regeneration - but it's only at the beginning of the match when half the time you don't even need it. His poison is useful for heroes with many buffs like king groot or old man Logan but most heroes don't have many buffs - even worse, many cosmic champs are poison immune! He has a power drain, but when I've used it it barely takes away any energy from the opponent.
What am I Missing?

On regards to his regen at start of fight it is useful on high prestige days to mitigate chip damage from parry and block
GR is good (second best mystic imo) but needs to use sp3 to regen a second time. Magik is really good, but can't regen- only undoes damage. Her power lock is awesome. Beastly sp3 if opponent has buffs. Third best mystic imo for these reasons. Guilly lifesteal too random, trash at longer fights (loses souls).
@DoctorofEvil is your Doctor Voodoo awoken? It seems to me that your not able to use him at his full potential...
Have you fought heroes with Ghost rider yet? Not a fun experience
keep playing with him you'll get annoyed soon enough when you try to put judgements on say a psylocke and spam 8 sp1s to get no judgement stack
Yep this is my main issue with GR. Awakened DV will always hit on his specials (even) for the desired result. Odd still is very reliable and he reduces ability accuracy. GR is too much RNG (especially against heroes). Using sp2 and not hitting pisses me off, but he is still very good.
