They'll have to nerf it, people will be learning their classes again and certain classes will underperform compared to live, the same treatment we saw in SoO will happen to HFC.

With the last pre-patch SoO got progressively nerfed through-out the first 24 hours.
By the time we got to it in the EU, it was significantly easier.
If the indirect changes in the pre-patch don't make it easier, which is possible, then they will outright nerf it to compensate. There's never been a pre-patch that didn't end up making current content easier one way or another so there's no reason to think HFC will be the exception.
I don't think there has ever been a pre-expansion patch where they didn't nerf the current content at the same time. They did it with MoP, Cata, WoTLK, and BC.
The nerfbat beating that HFC will receive will be the most savage blizzard has ever delivered. DPS is DOWN in a non-itemsquish expansion transition. This has NEVER happened before. They have bluntly stated that tank class mechanics for Legion are not designed to survive WoD bosses.
I would be COMPLETELY shocked if there wasn't a nerf. I'm guessing we'll see a minimum nerf of 30%.
On the PTR, as a DK dps, my single target DPS is much lower but my AOE dps is buffed through the roof XD (for both spec).
DK seems to be one of very few classes doing good DPS on PTR. Expect a nerf :E
As of the information we have right now? No. Do I expect it to be? Yes, either in the pre-patch or in Legion.
Feel free to offer any evidence to the contrary instead of some half baked attempt at sarcasm anytime.
Well it gona be nerfed for sure the question is how much
My toon lose like 30% of his power some are even more bad
Warriors for example can only dream for these 1-2 mln executes
