Fire Shield, Broken?

So is it supposed to be an errata? The Arcane Power level 6 utility, Fire Shield, for Wizards is an encounter that says "Effect: You gain resist 10 cold and resist 10 fire until the end of the encounter. Whenever a creature Makes a melee attack roll against you, it takes 2d6 + Intelligence modifier fire damage. No creature can take this damage more than once per turn."

It seems to me that an encounter utility that lasts the whole encounter and does 2d6 each time a melee attack is done against you seems a little too strong especially at heroic tier. Discussion?

It's a Daily power in Arcane Power. The Character Builder is incorrect and has it listed as an Encounter power.
