They did kinda kill the spec in 6.2. as you will recall, after the devastating Nerf to serpent sting, that broke the spec, that Nerf was never reversed.
Reverse that Nerf and then add some crit/haste scaling to our dots and boom, viable all over the board again . Though now that we don’t have as many aspects they might need to buff the abilities. The aspect of the hawk, attack power gain/loss, might hurt as well unless things are tuned up well in the ptr
