I find that i do great damage single, cleave and AoE (we honestly can't complain in that department looking how well done the talents are in unholy) and have great survivability, while the removal of our speed buff can be felt the more i know a fight the less reliant i have become on it. I also believe regarding Plate damage dealers we rank fairly high if not the highest, also the common consensus appears to be that unholy is the most fun of them all looking how smooth it plays.
If you play a melee you work around the idea that you can't attack from ranged, you picked that role to not have an easier time but to be rewarded by planning out your fight more, right now i find that i get rewarded for playing better and that's all i want from a damage spec a sense of skill difference and options to constantly grow. If i didn't want that i would recommend while still sticking to a melee role to play something like a demon hunter what appears to be tailored towards that demographic.
Blizzard also stated that they aren't done and are going back to the idea of people wanting to bring a class, undoing what they actually spend from pre-patch cata till late MoP to do. Stating they even found it was laziness on their part to just give the classes something they lacked. While i don't believe we'll ever go back to bloodlust being shaman only. I do believe this is the first full iteration of it, going to be one bumpy ride before they are done.
