I really thought I would hate it, then got the 4P, went Demonic and kept asking myself why I didn't switch earlier! I LOVE it! Feels savage! RAWR!

I suppose it was okay to spam one thing and react/fill with other skills.
Now i literally have to spam to be able to spam. So double the spamming..
And now i only use 2 skills ever. Both that need to be spammed.
In T20 you intermittently use sweep, felblade when it triggers, throw glaive when fury starved, fel rush when even throw was on cd.
I used 5 non-cd skills all the time.
Now it's...lasers and spam your 2 spam-skills...fantastic. No idea what makes this more engaging - the need to run into aoe or out of "must stand here" spots to get souls?
Less mobile, no reacting. Hell, you could basically macro the stupid bite to every chaos strike.
So you went from using
Chaos Strike, Blade Dance, Felblade, Throw Glaive/Felrush
to
Chaos Strike, Eye Beam, Demons Bite
and this is waaaaay worse because you don't have to use Throw Glaive because your RNG auto attack proc didn't proc? Felrush is still a mobility tool so it might aswell still be included.
I don't get this Demons Bite hate, with 60% crit and AotHG you press it so scarcely... on a 3:02 Garothi kill I pressed Fel Blade 26 times and overcapped about 20-30 fury overall, on a 2:59 Garothi kill I pressed Demons Bite 32 times and overcapped 10-20 fury, so I pressed DB 6 times more then Fel Blade, where in the earth is that spam? The Spam still is Chaos Strike as it has always been, gear correctly and soak soals when you need them and not whenever you like and Demons Bite is not even close to be a spam skill
Well to be completely honest "set is crap" still applies. My entire gear is 5 ilvl higher with T21 and dps sim's are exactly the same.
This tier is what is really truly separating the bad dh's from the good ones. If you're finding yourself doing lower dps with higher ilvl t21 then you are simply not playing well. Do a lot of m+ and you'll get better. The 1000 or so m+ I did as demonic is finally paying off and i'm parsing 99% top 10 on almost every mythic fight with several 100% logs on heroic and normal and would've had a 100% mythic log the other night had someone literally not beaten the previous #1 by a fair margin in the 10 minutes prior to our kill.

I thought I was going to but after a couple weeks I love T21. Much more involved and fun than T20.
Its super fun and very effective.
Yes, the tier bonus is fucking joke. I dont even use Eye beam on bosses.
Yeah but the RNG as Demonic ain't nearly as bad as it was with the old build. With the old build, you HAD to have good RNG inside a very small tight window because the build revolved around frontloading everything into your cd phase. Now, while you still play Nemesis, if you have bad RNG at the start, you're probably gonna have INSANE RNG later on in the fight. Atleast from my experience, my dps fluctuates by +/- 3% between pulls, which mostly comes down to crits. In the old build, I'd sometimes have such huge oscillations that I wanted to reroll there and then. One pull I'd end up 1,9million dps, other I'd end at 1,2m, all due to bad fury gen or no Annihilation crits during cds.
On topic - only thing I miss now is the ability to track souls via WA or some built-in system. Alas, it does not exist, they are impossible to track.
Burn it. BURN IT!
I already prepared weeks ahead when the set was anounced and even though everyone rightfully hated it, i started playing demonic just to practice and actually, i mostly like it very much, just the soulfragments need some more love. That's the only annoying part tbh. Imo they could just be absorbed right away since the only time you realy stack them is on poull/when meta gets ready again, otherwise you wan't them immediately
Lower chance for greater reward (since it is fury and 5 sec off EB and CN). Though there are things you can do to hedge your bets on having fragments for that precious Betrayers Fury window. Helps but the RNG can still hit you like a sledgehammer. You tend to REALLY notice the dry spells of fragments as it feels like it takes forever to get back to EB.
However while the RNG is worse the spikes and troughs of dps are better. You don't spike as high but you also don't end up plummeting in dps from being a full minute from any dps boost.
The extra survivability from being in meta a lot more is rather nice as well. (still generally take NW, as in most cases soul rending is a tad overkill in the healing dept, and NW is nice for spikes)

aboslutely loving new demonic build! more fluid and entertaining that "1-2" wait 2 min for cd's" old build
