"One expansion" what...?
We are rarely ever top of the meters, there has only been a handful, and its usually 1 fight or 2, because of specific circumstances.
I mean lets look.

Wrathion- 2 locks, 5 DH, a druid, a hunter, and a warrior, its pretty spread
Maut- Mostly destro lock, with a few fire mages, pretty good fight for destro
Skitra- Obvious, all destro, except well a rogue in top but thats 1 dude
Xanesh- All fire mage and a few warrirs with a few locks
Hivemind- All fire mages
Shadhar- Warrior and DH
Dres- Destro lock
Vexiona- All fire mage'
Raden- All fire mage
Ilg- Destro lock with some shadow priests, fire mages, and a warrior,
Carapace- fire mage
nzoth- fire mage and destro lock
Overall yeah a fair few locks, behind fire mage which is insane, but guess what.
a fun class, one that feels good to play, is not one that is "top of the meters" especially since destro lock is only top of the meters cause of azerite traits, which well... we arnt gunna have in Shadowlands.
We want a fun class, one that feels good, and one that has its strengths lowered, and its weaknesses strengthened.
Every single lock i have met misses the old days of every chaos bolt being strong, and being less common, now it just feels super fucking patheticly weak, the only time it does damage is at the end of an infernal, and every lock ive spoken to about it hates how all our DPS is shoved into the infernal, outside of it "meh" inside of it we hit INSANE numbers.
Like look at this, its fucking sad, i hate it, and so do so many more, It should be more small lumps where "Oh there is where he got off a chaos bolt!" not "oh thats where he summoned infernal!"

What does recklessness have to do with anything?

Demo is the only spec that can really pull it off, because its split with your demon, and that makes it actually much more managable, but again, in a raid its amazing, cause you have healing to spare, but it still feels like shit, and isnt fun to have to take a talent, to get movement, while every other class doesent.
