Revert Frost DKs to 7.3.5 so they are actually fun

Okay, so I have played a DK as my main since I first got to level 55 in wrath and immediately fell in love with the warrior/mage/undead design around them. Blizz has done a lot to change them over the years, sometimes for better or worse. When they first introduced Breath of Sindragosa, I loved it and I used it for a long time. As the class changed though, I got quite tired of it and in Legion switched to the Obliteration rotation which felt absolutely amazing to play. You would top DPS charts when you hit your full burst, especially when your raid group would lust and it was great to just crank out ridiculous DPS for the first 30 or so seconds of the fight and maintain it with a pretty decent and consistent rotation that didn’t really have any downtime. In BFA however, using Breath again doesn’t have the same effect and I frequently find myself with a lot of downtime, especially after using Breath effectively. Frost DKs just feel undertuned DPS-wise and frost just feels slow and unrewarding and really makes me miss how they played later in Legion. I am sure there is much more that might be required to make it work, and I’m sure they would need to be nerfed/buffed in certain areas for balance, but why not take Frost DKs back to 7.3.5 (with balance for live)? Also, I’m sure that people do enjoy Frost DKs as they are, so does anyone have any ideas that might improve them in a different way than reverting them to 7.3.5?

P.S. Seriously DKs get no allied races? -_-

Edit: Before anyone says it, yes, I could always play another class or spec, but I really do like Frost and would rather advocate for fixing it than just giving up on it!
