High Templar seem to be somewhat ok dealing with mass mutas but its expensive and mutas can move out of storm quickly and sit on top of high templars.
math:

a group of mutas: 100m + 100g x 20 = 2000m 2000g >> a templar: 50m 150g + 1 time upgrade.

This math means nothing when the Zerg player lols and simply tells his mutas to move over a few squares.

Going phoenixes only gimps your ground game if you build way more than necessary. Even if you have 10 left over, they are very useful. You can graviton beam their gatherers and use them to harass. And they are awesome vs zerg to hunt down their overseers, cuts down on their supply and scouting.

And if pertinent issues dont keep getting brought up, how is blizzard supposed to take a look at them?
There aren't issues. There are plenty of counters. People have posted them. Unfortunately it doesn't just take "build this unit and win vs mutas." It actually requires you to know how to scout and when to attack. The lower skilled players will not understand this, and lose to the strategy, but it does not mean there are no counters (and plenty of threads explaining these counters)

stimmed rines w/ medivacs %*#* the @#@* out of mutas, as they do most things.

mutas do not win against MMMs, they get crushed. the only choice zerg has against that is infestors + hydras.

protoss are @#%!ed, though.

been noticing that in bronze, upgraded sentries > mutas, with a couple attack upgrades (or just 1) sentries can kill mutas, especially since you can hallucinate 4 or so pheonixes, which deal no damage, but with focus firing with your sentires muta's can hardly tell they aren't real and so they get attacked first (which is slowed down by the sentry shield).

I love mutalisks... YOu can use them to harass your opponents, to kill their workers, to dominate their armies and support your armies.

http://www.theuen.com/units/zerg/mutalisk has all of these videos on mutalisks and details on how to pull off these strategies.
