Yeah, many people have said it. Cosmic has been very strong in all games. I'd argue that E3's cosmic is better than E2's. The utility they got from the slows on their aoes, AP stacking being much easier leaves trees without access to it struggling. Gone are the days of base % md and melee. Everything is just AP or flat mdam now, which both add onto % AP. Cosmic's beam does more than any other for literally no reason since the invig req got removed off it. It leads into an advanced tree which is also good. Prism Beam having such high scaling just capitalizes on all that AP bonus you stacked off the countdown.
It's just the better version of occult/holy with weaker ic imo. The Church has become nearly non-existent. A lot of the cosmic users I see (and boy are there a lot of them) feel like they worship the stars solely for access to the tree, and just fail to mention it anytime after they receive their tome outside of dev.
Also on the off-topic discussion of DR>AP Stack, I think % DR is valued more than AP (if you have 0% of each). If you have 100% DR, you're invincible. If you have 100% AP, you double your damage. AP Stacking is more viable because there's way, way more sources for it, simply they'll never be a way to reach a passive 100% DR for obvious reasons. And because you can get higher %'s of AP, you'll scale better with it to a level far greater than you could with DR.
