[FIXED] [Death Knight][All Specs][Talent] Asphyxiate vs spells that should remove stuns

Bug description: Asphyxiate can't be removed by spells that should remove stuns.
I tested on PTR with Monk's Nimble Brew https://www.wow-freakz.com/spells.php?spell=137562 (wowhead link) and with DK's Icebound fortitude https://www.wow-freakz.com/spells.php?spell=48792 (wowhead link)
I think that somehow Asphyxiate , even though it stuns, it's recognised as a silence spell and that's why it can't be removed. I also tested vs Dk's Desecrated Ground https://www.wow-freakz.com/spells.php?spell=108201 (wowhead link) and that spell removes Asphyxiate probably because it should also remove silence effects.
When I try to use Nimble brew or Icebound fortitude while being in Asphyxiate I get the message - You can't use that ability right now... or something along those lines.

I remember from retail that DKs weren't able to use Icebound against Asphyxiate. You still cannot use it on Live.

Though asphyxiate is interesting as a stun since I can't seem to Icebound Fortitude out of it.

As for Nimble Brew... I don't really know, it's most likely a bug but I'm going to need more evidence.

Well.. If Asphyxiate acts as both stun and silence then Nimble brew shouldn't remove it also and in the end it's not a bug after all..
From what I know, Nimble brew removes only stuns, fear, horror, slows and roots .

Confirming this for Nimble Brew AND Blink.

I am 100% sure that you cannot use Icebound to remove it, I asked some friends to test it on Live 6.0.3 and DKs still couldn't Icebound out of it. It's probably a bug that Blizzard overlooked all this time.

At 4:26 he gets stunned by Asphyxiate and he removes it with Nimble Brew.

At 7:45 he stuns the Mage and then he Blinks.
