After so many nerfs, do Aug evokers still meta?

Blizzard near enough broke every single support hook for attributing damage in 10.2, they are still meta, they are still good, RWF guilds have brought 2 to every boss and they’re solidly top tier in keys. However, they are not so good in mythic+ that they will perform alongside bad dps, and their dps contributions are nearly impossible currently to properly figure out.
groups like them, yes. Of top 40 runs, 39 have an evoker.
It seems that spec broke the game; it doesn’t matter how many nerf they get.
At least from a healer perspective: if someone fills a group without an aug, I prefer to leave.
I main an evoker and idk.
I just join and ask if they want dev or aug and some say aug some say “w/e you want” and others are like “Dev”
lol so I just go with the flow XD
The broken hooks had people requesting devastation. Was nice.
One class should not be a definitive meta for two entire seasons in a row. It’s so dumb. Especially since Blizzard said there are no other support specs coming any time soon.

Since they released this spec, I said there won’t be a middle point; they will be good or useless. The case now is that after so many nerfs, they are still good, and for that… good enough = meta. I hope they nerf it to the ground because it is ridiculous.

They look like one of the strongest specs for M+, yeah.
You weren’t around for death knights or demon hunters were you?

they are the only guaranteed part of the god comp
I mean they’re not wrong. Idk if I am remembering correctly weren’t demon hunters kinda bad on release?
I swear I remember they felt like hitting people with nothing and got buffed a few times.
It’s not about them being wrong.
Blizzard always overtunes the new classes they release in order to get people to flock over and try them out.
Very common business strategy.
Havoc pretty much destroyed rogues in the meta because they were pumping just as much with half the buttons required.
They pretty much released a simpler rogue at the time, who also wore leather and dual wielded.
Tank DH did get buffed a few times in order to compete with pallys/druids/blood dks
…Which made them unkillable in pvp for awhile until they got tuned down
I care more about having interrupts in the group than an Aug now. When people invite boomkins and warlocks and mages and hunters I just shudder now. Some of those ranged can interrupt, but it’s just meh and ranged that isn’t mage is squishy as hell.
Honestly, just give me ret pallies and enhance shamans in every group. They’re the only ones with interrupts and massive utility who try to help. Every other DPS is conditioned to tunnel.

They’re only good if they’re in good groups. Their success falls off quickly if they have to carry.
Oh I guess I see the point on rogues I never play them so I didn’t know about it.
Honestly DH needs the bat again with how they are in pvp right now.
the other 2 picks are bad lol aug is legit the only good spec they got.
DH should have never been allowed to leave the PTR in its current state period. Half of their damage in dungeons is literally afk spamming Immo aura and their tier set firing off throw glaives. It’s actually embarrassing game balance for how far ahead it is of everything else in M+ for how little skill it actually takes to play.

They didn’t even get half the nerfs they would need to not be meta.
