It's a single trait that is creating an enormous DPS gain, something they're breaking among most specs, because of how much of your DPS is dependent on the perk. It's also pushing imps even higher to being a stupid contributor of your DPS and creates this weird garbage gameplay that blows other talents and gameplay option out of the water while scaling better, especially with the T20 bonus.
Basically, once you got it and TKA, you would put up Shadowy Inspiration, Improved Dreadstalkers, Power Trip, and Soul Conduit and just mass pump out enormous imp armies while doing a rotation of DE-SB-DE-SB ad nauseum. This would only become better and better over time. It also made the relic issue regarding Infernal Furnace even worse.
Demonology is pretty loosely held together as is and arguably needs a soft rework to make function without breaking or imploding on itself. Jaws of Shadow nerf sucks and needs to be compensated for, but further pushing DPS into the imps was basically breaking shit.
