Nerfing DH aint gonna help the sub numbers
You should keep in mind that we are getting more azerite traits in 8.1 aswell as an option to target those items.
People will stack those and they will nerf it.
If you mean if you can scrap current azerize for currency, then yes it is confirmed that they wont give u currency. Only azerite that drops after the patch hits.

well if it will be paired with nerfing couple other classes and buffing couple more to "balance" things a bit, it actually could help with subs, assuming it will be parried with getting some stuff to do in the same time, i have a lot of friends that are running out of sub currently and a loot of them will probably not buy it et least till 8,1.
Not everyone like to play fotm classes or spend couple hours per day trying to apply to groups
its niche when its 10-15% above rest, and a bit below in some other aspects currently we have bigger problems and its not only with DH.
Mage have nerf coming already, DH`s one was ben reverted because reasons, rogue`s are still waiting
Is there a source? Or just live <->PTR comparison ?
there was a blue post just before blizzcon saying in the next ptr build that will go up the aoe nerfs have been reverted (the build isnt up yet, just for the next build coming)

I'm not going to comment on if the change is needed or not and just say the following.
Despite being middle of the pack DH is:
-mandatory in any mythic raid purely cause of the 5% magic debuff
-in the top 5 specs, 2nd top melee for m+
LMAO.
Eyebeams is core to our rotation and play style. It isn't needed. What is needed is Nerf feel barrage. Sure I can do 60k on trash but if I take barrage that is more like 90k.
With 2 dh a fdk and a mage in our raid our oomkin, priest, and lock just afk trash. It dies before the can finish opening.
If anything the need to move some damage from eyebeam to death sweep and then Nerf barrage by a wide margin to make trail competitive when trash isn't gonna die in 3 globals.
Trail should be go to for boss fights. But I just don't care enough to swap between cleave/St fights and fights with many adds

Stop lobbying for your braindead class. Bestkeystone.com shows havoc to be by far the best pick in every dungeon on almost all affixes. And on every stream of world first pushers you will see the DH topping overall, and even bossfights, as crit/mastery assas (for dungeons) and frostmages have even less ST than Havoc. Havoc was crazy good since day 1 BfA and was the only dps spec that dodged tuning hotfixes (except 1 trait nerf), for whatever reason.
If you get out dps'ed by an assassin I can assure you that this is a you-problem. Havoc deserves a really big hit on their dps, the (reverted) eye beam nerf doesn't even beginn to bring this busted spec in line.
27 of 30 combinations on that website are also including a BDK, if you take the BDK nerf into account next patch, I'm sure DH will be less required for the big Eye Beam/AOE Damage, as packs need to be handled properly and not go by the "lets pull all and just aoe down" mentality. BDK is way to OP with regards to those kind of pulls and with that makes DH OP: having 6 of the 8 main abilities being AOE (Felrush, beam, BD, Imo, Barrage, Glaive)
same argument goes for your comment about "world first pushers..." you also almost always see a DK Tank in those runs. Should wait and see if the BDK nerf brings a shift in whats required to push keys, or if a nerf really is in order. Should always see the bigger picture and not limit it being a one class/spec/spell/talent problem.
