Now originally, i had forgotten about the 9% nerf, and a 25% buff was going to be way overkill. We were going to essentially go from bottom to middle to near off the charts top.
That said, our design to trade off survivability for DPS isn't great, but taking into account that we just got a 14% buff in those situations we can trade off, we will be extremely strong. As an example look at mythic krosus in the 90th percentily (assuming top 10% are able to go "max dps"):

That would bump our average up from 468k (solidly middle of the pack) to 534k (10% higher than the next highest).
Its going to be very hard for blizzard to balance our damage when we're using CDs for survivability versus DPS.
