They added a maintenance buff to Ret by reworking Divine Hammer, and that talent is the crutch that Ret is leaning on (and still doing poorly). The divine hammers can proc the Empyrean Hammers from Templar, which is why it’s so far ahead of Herald. Without the Divine Hammer rework, we’d be at Augmentation levels of DPS instead of just being like 2 slots above Aug.
Touchè. I’ll yield that point. If it was a lazor gun from a tinker or engineer or mahine speaker or something like that, wouldn’t have any problems with it. But it replaced a bolt of lightning animation for an ability called “Lightning Bolt”. It’s one of the absolutely stupidest aesthetic decisions they’ve made w.r.t. class abilities since… I don’t even know when.

It still is. Thankfully in modern WoW, being bottom 5 means you’re 10% behind and not 100% behind like in Classic.
Outlaw and Sub feel they took a step back but overall they are just about the same as they were in TWW beta which is kind of the problem.
Not enough iteration to make these specs flow better.
Like half the classes got absolutely terrible tier set bonuses. Probably the worst sets ever designed by far. If you were one of those specs that had to be 660+ item level to even consider swapping to your new tier set, it feels terrible.
As havoc we lost a major quality of life set bonus to be replaced by like 5% crit on average. It’s awful.
You have to untalent breath of eons. The bug works with bombardments and the talent overlord(casts eruption on 3 targets when you deep breath) and it applies mass eruption on all 3 while also applying bombardments on all 3.
So not only are you doing a lot of damage because bombardments do a lot of dmg, you are also getting a TON of cooldown reduction from those 3 bombardments + the 2 you apply manually. On top of that, it also means high uptime on lust buff because your deep breath is up so often with all the cdr and the bonus dmg you get from casting it.
The personal damage buffs that they keep giving aug only makes this better lol. If they do fix this bug, they would need to offer a buff cause m+ dmg is lacking otherwise.

MW had a small buff going into S2, but since a few made it into RWF they were nerfed hard, and now are worse than in S1 by a good margin.
