BM still scales VERY badly.
It's not like how things are now, is how things will stay. BM is actively getting worse comparatively, each week of gear people get.
Those who still play BM, do so because either they can't movement manage, their MM gear is very bad and their BM gear is good, they don't care about playing what's best or good or decent or they're delusional and think BMs mobility makes them do more dmg than other specs.
In saying that, the worse you are, or your guild is, the better BM will be/look. So for lower level guilds, it's a 100% viable option, because of how easy BM is in raid, and how tanky it is, making it really good for lower guilds where your healers tend to be pretty bad.
