Hi fellow warriors just a quick question am I gimping myself not going kyrian? I kind of wanted to go night fae but if kyr is better I’d rather do that.
Night Fae has a great skill with ancient aftershock If that is the one you want. It is a great skill. Nice for tanking because of how strong of an AoE effect is. You won’t be disappointed.
These numbers look completely reasonable and balanced for all classes. I guess on the bright side, you’re not alone, but you would be in the minority.
I’d strongly suggest going Kyrian unless they look at these numbers and do something reflexive.

The real question is how do you like to play?
Honestly if you want to go Night Fae, you’ll be fine to do so unless you’re going to be focusing solely on high end (Mythic) raiding. In fact, they do well in dungeons where the aftershock can be used to its full effect. Bleeding edge keys might be tricky since you’ll need to move so much that the shock might get wasted.
In a raid situation you’ll get less rage regeneration, but if you’re only doing heroic raiding or lower this is a moot point and you should play what you want. I went Kyrian myself not only because the ability best suited my play style, but because I preferred the aesthetics of the covenant over Night Fae.
I hated the Spear, I find Ancient Aftershock amazing.
I went Venthyr because it makes Execute better for Prot/Fury and the teleport is useful for exploring and shortcuts (it can do some things Heroic Leap can’t). For Arms “mains” you’re better off picking Spear or Aftershock.
Necrolord feels thrown together at the last minute and unacceptable. It needs reworked plain and simple. Fleshcraft and boots for my troll/zandalar isn’t enough to make me pick it. DKs got an amazing ability for Necro that makes it tempting to pick over mobility options from Venthyr and Night Fae.
