They could always give us buffs with counters to show how many pets we have out. Duration of temp minions on a per minion basis is going to be Hell to track no doubt....

Even with the game tracking automatically. You'd still require a way to tell when your demons are despawning etc. The maximum DPS up time is efficient use of demonic empowerment and having as many imps as possible. If using demonbolt.. you'd want to know how many you have out (though beyond X number it becomes redundant to know). For example in legion I'd imagine I'll be tracking how many imps I have. Possibly if I can how long until my next imp despawns/the amount of imps despawning at the same time (in the case of a 5 shard HoG) when my dreadstalkers are despawning if demonic empowerment if up and if so on how many targets... (I have no idea how I'll do this but I'll figure a way). Basically all the stuff I feel will be relevant to min/max my gameplay.
Also anyway that blizzard gives us to track minions etc... will probably be dreadful.
From the looks of things you'll use dogs on CD and hog to spawn imps in order to not be casting filler at resource cap... so unless they really fuck up the balance I'm not sure that'll be an issue.
Its hard to see your positivity, mostly just see really random complaints about likely non-issues.

Can I complain pleaseeeeeeeee?! WHERE THE HELL ARE MY WINGS BLIZZARD OMG!
I'm wondering how much of a playstyle change having the legendary helm can cause. I'm guessing that demons would become half GCD's? May not seem like much but the impact could make it so you have more time to focus on whats going on raid wise/using more important spells after the other 0.5 sec is up. That is if I remember right dogs take 1.5~ seconds to cast or some such?
Dreadhounds being instant would be pretty smooth for pvp tbh, too many cast times will wreck the spec in that environment, sadly legendaries don't work :/
They're attached to he destro staff for some reason.
Don't think it'll work that way, if that helm stays as is I imagine it'll only affect our main demons. So if your felguard dies you can instant resummon it or whatever. I'm kind of scared they'll use it to add pet twisting back to the game with demos artifact... ugh...

Or y'know, your main sources of dmg doing 20% more dmg might be kinda ok too.

You're confusing legendary items with the artifact weapons. Artifact weapon traits work universally because everyone has them and everyone is leveling them up. Legendary items are world drops and their special traits are disabled in arenas and battlegrounds, though not in world PvP.
