Haoshoku is an indicator of will power and a rare trait. I think that a person with so much willpower is probably capable of greatness, and to have someone as young and inexperiences as Luffy use it to save Ace was quiet shocking. It established him as even more of a threat and possibly contributed to Akainu's tenaciousnes in killing him. Besides, it's possible to subdue weak characters without hurting them.

The dissapointment with Haki is all because fanboys twisted it's very meaning and envisioned some marvelous battle tecnique or power when it's it's more like a tool ANYBODY willing to survive in the new world should ideally have. I think it was so shocking was because Luffy used it, if someone like WB used it it wouldn't matter as much. Learn to diagnoise correctly and you would avoid confusion.
