It certainly is a good change. It was like that in previous Beta builds and made for much better gameplay. Will update that for sure, thanks for noticing it!

Also, in mythic dungeons and the like I miss the burst that destruction provided, on many bosses I can't even really ramp up the damage before the die, what would be the best way to go about bursting down bosses in mythic dungeons?
It's covered in the FAQ section of my guide here;
Q: What is all this chatter about Demonology being OPOpie in pre-patch?
A: Currently with the way the T18 4P bonus works you can get some really great numbers by gaming how many Wild Imps you are getting/how many casts they are getting by stacking Haste and ignoring Call Dreadstalkers as an ability entirely. Essentially you use Fragment of the Dark Stars (class trinket) and basically any other trinket (some that are good; Chipped Soul Prism, Sandman's Pouch, Iron Reaver Piston, Fleshrender's Meathook then any other trinket that is MWF and/or Socket) and you cast til 1 Soul Shard, cast Hand of Gul'dan and fish for 4P procs and then proceed to buff all your Wild Imps and 4P procs with Demonic Empowerment. In addition for every Shadow Bolt (or Demonbolt) you cast you gain a stacking buff which further increases demon damage.
TL;DR The rotation is 3 buttons over and over: Shadow Bolt/Demonbolt > Hand of Gul'dan > Demonic Empowerment.
