Agree on Scorp: A well-played Fire mage easily out-dpses us there if cheesing meters (tank at spawnpoint).
Botanist is a different story, especially in mythic: While the in-game dps meters might show a different story, the logs show aff locks far at the top, because cheesing on the other adds is non-relevant dps (individual mobs heal to full when 1 dies).
If we are 100% honest with ourselves, a nerf to affliction was merited. The extent of it, though, and especially the stupid attempt to revive effigy that is contrary to the T20 set are just wrong. No clue what this haunt change is targeting. With Haunt costing a shard, and not benefitting at all from any weapon trait, it will always be inferior to a simple UA.
Well, Destro was good first tier, Affli second, I guess Blizzard's logic is: Let's make Demo best in the 3rd tier, then we're really fair
