Using pots is more fair than using secret link.
At least you don't need someone on your party near you to use it not to mention secret link is better than pot anyway.
Also here's another situation to illustrate how ridiculous it is to use secret link on 1v1 and claim it is "true" 1v1:
Imagine your druid is on norlant swamps and face a shaman who is going to attack you. What you gonna do?
"Oh please don't attack me mr shaman, wait for my secret link slave to arrive on this map".
