DH Is my #1 canadite.
Will be coming from evoker which is horrendusly boring.
I hear DH is fast, has decent utility, and has decent damage.
Enhance or going back Warrior are my other two options. Is DH worth it?
Lol, no.

If you like a build where you are required to move but have to stand still during a lot of encounters, especially in mythic + with bosses, go for it

The gameplay is fun and fast paced and once you get started on double jumping and gliding everywhere you will never want to go back. The class fantasy is a big part of my enjoyment of DH too.
If you want to play Havoc, you should know that Havoc is squishy, squishier even than Evoker is. Havoc survives by avoiding damage whenever possible and through leech/soul fragment consumption. The only defensive CD available, Blur, has a short duration and is lacking compared to other DPS defensives. This isn’t really a factor until you start pushing the more difficult content though but is definitely a big weakness of the spec.
DH also lacks good utility, contrary to what you might think. Darkness is situational and best on constant ticking damage rather than single big hits. Havoc can purge but still lacks utility compared to other specs that also can purge like DPS Shaman and SPriest. Spectral Sight has seen a decent amount of usage this expansion for dungeons such as Brackenhide and Halls of Infusion this season and Court of Stars last season but has no purpose at all in raids AFAIK and it’s limited usage in dungeons isn’t particularly game changing.
But for the good, Havoc brings a decent AoE stun that can be extremely helpful on many pulls in dungeons and is the only DPS spec in the game capable of bringing the Chaos Brand debuff which is quite a big deal in raids as most compositions will want a VDH or Havoc somewhere to boost everyone’s magic damage. Havoc has excellent self sustain for constant damage due to innate leech and soul fragments.

DH is boring.
If you’re on an Evoker, stay on Evoker.
The thing is 48 times easier to play and also does 80 times more damage.
Havoc on the other hand requires an extremely annoying min-max rotation, their DPS potential isn’t high and they’re suffering from the lack of personals this expansion.

theres really no way to suggest a spec to someone who hasnt played it before, i highly suggest you look at vods and videos of havocs rotation and go on from there. i think havoc is fun but it suffers from spinning plate syndrome since you have to juggle demonic, momentum, and sg on yoru target
Every spec is boring

I did mythic raiding on havoc in bfa and loved it, ofc its alot different now.
No. It is extremely boring and I want a more involving rotation.
frnakly gotta ask yourself, arey ou comfortable fel rush to generate fury? or fel rushing to generate fury and maintain a buff?
I did keys with momentum in SL S2. I don’t mind it
Doomers are telling you not to play it because of momentum & minmax.
Just play it if you enjoy it. Watch VODs. If it looks fun, play it. These people act like they’re sitting at 100 parses struggling to do anything on the spec rn.
then there you go, you’d like havoc its a solid spec with good st and great cleave aoe, has a meta tank spec and brings chaos brand to secure a spot
