Season 6 Masteries too squishy?

I hope I'm not the only person here, but the Season 6 masteries have felt absolutely _awful _for my tanky playstyle. Despite my efforts to work on it, even champions like Braum feel like they're taking too much damage. Hell my bulky early game set up for Thresh which I've been using since late Season 3 is impossible with the current state of them! Suddenly I've gone from being able to start constant fights in lane to needing to hide 24/7 because being sneezed on'll chunk me for half my health! Is anyone else having similar issues with the new masteries, or am I just sulking at a blank wall? :P

The Defensive Masteries aren't the issue. The problem is the amount of damage players can stack from the other two trees. Remember when there was only one offensive tree? Well, utility is no more! Instead, we have the Cunning tree. And while it retains some of what Utility used to offer, it's a massive source of damage for all comers. Choosing between Ferocity and Cunning is like picking what flavor lemonade you want to drink. Pink lemonade or blue raspberry lemonade? The trees also provide a decent amount of penetration, thereby providing assassins and such the burst needed to shred tanks early.
