So you can generally get to the ilvl of NH LFR gear or thereabouts without much pain and then what? I just leave my alts there and start another, rinse and repeat until 7.2. My main has the raid gear so that's completely different story.
The casual ilvl is sufficient to go solo stuff or do mythic dungeons (the non keystone ones) etc. so I really don't care to push my alts further, question is what do you expect from your main?
Weird, because it looks like some DK's abilities are only useful against big groups (like bonestorm or consumption), you also have mass grip which is a great tool to "glue mobs together".
No one can tell you which playstyle you'd like more, I just pointed out you can't say a class sucks if it has 20 ilvls less and undeveloped artifact, it's the same situation as if someone said "mage sucks because it does less damage than my warlock" and then you'd learn about the gear & artifact disparity.
