They should have let KJC remain a passive, but only affect MG, DS, incinerate and shadow bolt, the snare is enough of a drawback.
Something like that, there are a myriad of mechanics that could fix it, from applying it's own dot (just tuned enough that it's not worth more than using MG in your normal rotation), working similarly to MG where it triggers existing dot ticks, adding dot duration but not refreshing it's values (though as I said earlier, would need tweaking to not be something you can spam for 100% crit 100% of the time) or simply hitting harder, it just needs to not be a spell where you can turn 100% crit dots into garbage, but have no other alternatives bar potentially lifetapping.
Having only one filler option doesn't work when it can be a dps loss to use it if you need to move at the wrong time, at least not unless you want your playerbase left with a button that you can totally press, but it's a bad choice to make - the right choice is to press nothing, which is obviously completely counter intuitive and icky feeling for a raider.
Fel flame should either be reworked, a second filler should be added, or blizzard should work KJC out in a way that it's not as broken as they seem to feel it is, but they're evidently having trouble.
The above "filler only" option seems fairly suitable, affliction reaps some nice benefits, still needs to stop for UA / Haunt (which is a fair bit of damage). Destro gets a minor benefit, which is fitting since they have a fair bit of instants to play with - I run without AV on Horridon which can require a fair bit of movement, there's always ROFs, conflags or fel flames to be using without gimping yourself. Demo gets very little benefit by making it SB only, not giving it to soul fire, but they're already very mobile thanks to meta, so they don't need it.
