I believe in issue 98, he swore an oath to never use it again.
I know it's an isolated incident. But right now, I'm warring with my love of Doctor Strange and his history, and my enjoyment of the New Avengers- I really like the current arc, and it's only downside for me is the butchering of Strange's character. I was grasping at straws to provide a reason for why he couldn't just teleport them, even though it's just a reason to have all the NA on a plane.
Hmm.........I smell a power feat. Not just anyone can say they accidentally tore the universal fabric of reality with their power residue.
