Its pretty damn good damage too (if you get crits you do 450k damage every gcd with nemesis active), but it is really easy to outplay.

Meta takes a GCD + it actually has a travel time so you can evade it, so i dont really see your point in that regard. Meta isnt that scary as such, its meta + chaos blades that is the absurd burst, and that only lasts 12 seconds. And everyone plays 15 second meta.
Take a rogue, stun the DH - blind the trinket, sap it again. Or if he holds his trinket on the stun, put a bleed on him and then vanish and run away so that the bleed stops seing him in stealth. For a feral, stun the DH, maim the trinket, root him and be prepared to root again, or just run away with dash, DHs have 2 slows on a CD, he cant catch up. A warrior can disarm, then fear, then stun. A Dh can go up into the air and totally evade the damage. And so on, pretty much every class can evade (like iceblock or evasion), cc or get away during meta.
Fear the DH, stun the trinket, MC out? And if he comes back after the MC ends and you get kicked on the recast you still have dispersion that heals you back up, especially if you take the talent that makes it resist even more. And, while it does require someone else to be close and isnt useable in a 1v1 you do have voidshift if you spec into it.
Not that you are going to win in the end, but spriests have been shit at dueling since forever (woltk or cata). But the point is that even the spriest can CC the DH during meta.
I can choose between stun and fear, I do not have both so if he trinkets one of them I am doomed. The amount of gap closers DH has is ridiculous, especially given I only have a 3 sec 40% movement speed increase every 6 seconds which with the slow accounts for nothing at all. So the DH can just force his PvE rotation on me.
Funny how ranged cannot interrupt melee attacks.
Death from Above was used defensively when it was abused to break free from stuns. Now it is used offensively against melee that do not have ranged attacks.
Legion Sub is a brain dead spec like Demon Hunters in that a castershealers can NEVER peel either one even with arena partners or BG teammates.
I quit playing DH/rerolled, because they just aren't viable in competitive (3s) pvp right now, they have ''unrivaled mobility'' yet get shut down incredibly hard by snares/roots/hard cc's, with nothing to escape and 2 high resource/cd aoe cc's that DR eachother. Anyone who considers DH to be overpowered is clearly a player who is in the bottom-mid of the overal pvp population when it comes to skill/rating.
DH is a lot of fun to play for a short while, in random bg's it's incredibly easy to go on a rampage and this is really all the class has to offer. Outside of that window of usefulness against unskilled players/casuals, it's just a poor mans melee that is heavily reliant on cooldowns to be even remotely useful.
When players rage about DH's, simply ignore them. Players rage about every class/spec combo in the game when they get facerolled by one, and at the same time spam all forums with QQ that <insert random class/spec> needs to be buffed because they suck at playing it.
People are idiots, wow caters to these idiots, 1% of the entire population actually knows how the game works and is trying/hoping that Blizzard will just fucking remove meta so they can make DH's useful in competitive.
EDIT: Today I killed 7 DH's in open world pvp, I was simply doing quests when they jumped on me to get an easy kill (I'm playing a windwalker monk with 820 GS/1,5m HP) all these havoc DH's were atleast 860-880GS (I base this off of seeing 3m+ health bars). And I beat all of them with atleast 50% health remaining. PLEASE BUFF DH's!

WW main here, if you got 1.5m hp thats like 2-3 hits. How the hell did you survive? Even karma wont help you.

DH deserves a damage nerf, and their defs was already buffed and with that mobility they have to be shut down somehow. Every spec has strengths but also needs a weakness. You actually think it would be wise to give DH's a rootbreaker on 20-30 sec cd? lol. I've done plenty of arenas up to 2500 rating this season and DH damage is absolutely nuts //ex DH here so I understand the class a lot after 3 months of pvping on it.
I don't know. I liked DH and I was dying many times. the once who were OP with the new class were blood DK's back then. I don't see that DH's have such thing.
World pvp is unbalanced!
* gasp *
Outside of Meta, DHs have 0 self healing. Unless you talented Demonic Appetite. They do A LOT of damage yet they can't sustain it
The amount of... let's call it misinformation, in this thread is baffling.
World pvp - they can almost 1shot a raid group.
Meta lasts too long, does too much damage, and heals too much.
