That feeling when your laptop overheats because the USB port is consuming 30 watts. :-/
Already, I need to place a desk fan pointed on my laptop to keep it cool when it's connected to the docking station via USB.
Is your dock powered by your laptop? I didn't even know this was possible, all docks I've seen have their own power supply and actually offer PD to the connected device, not the other way around.
