A blue post from the US forums:
Thanks for feedback–in an upcoming build, we are reverting the recent change to Dark Transformation. It will once again be its own ability.

They just simply dont know what to do with classes which developers dont play, like enhancement elemental shaman, unholy dk…those are first signs of SL garbage balance which is incoming soon, it will be again: DH, mage, warlock and rogue topping the charts in pvp and pve, mark my words.

Might be true but at least they seem to listen a bit this time around. Unlike with BFA where we had almost 0 changes to anything for almost whole year. It hasn’t even been a full day and they are already reverting the DT changes due to the tons of negative feedback.
This is great, a very quick respons from the feedback given, much appreciated
This is great indeed but it feels like they didnt have any plans for UH and they are just trying things out and checking how people react because they have no clue.

Thank you Blizzard for listening!
It really really does show they have no clue, to make official announcements and go back on them a day later
I dont think many will agree with me but im happy at least about Gargoyle not being baseline, i dont really like that spell
From PVE side, DT change was very good. Less buttons you need to press. 6-8 GCD buttons on opener is tooo muchhhh.
But i understand PvP Players they removed a good Utility for them. They just need to remove DT from GCD.
Gargoyle should be removed completely from Game. Here is the why:
-
It have a high CD for low dmg output. Even if you try to buff with RP dmg output is low. It has already the passive from Dark Arbiter from Legion. But the Problem is you need the shoulders which buffs your Gargoyle when you use DT and spend RP.
-
Gargoyle is doing more and faster dmg with Haste and not with Mastery like the other minions in SL.
-
To all BoS Frost hater. Gargoyle has a similar mechanic. You need to generate RP to spend to Buff him.
With Frost BoS you generate and spend RP to keep Bos Alive. -
They need to re-design Gargoyle. More dmg for a 3min CD or reduce CD.
Blizzard is finally change Unholy DK to a Pet-class. 70-80% or your Single and AOE dmg is coming from your Pets. That’s what Unholy suppose to be since Wotlk.

I guess im one of the few that liked the change. As much as i did and still do like dark transformation, i did enjoy the baked version more. The openers and rotation got so much more fluid.
Although i do totally understand the reasons why many didnt like it.
I hope they come up with something else before launch, cause the revert brought dk back to alt status for me 
Problem was you had no control of your ST / AoE since both were tied to the same ability. For example if you want to save apocalypse for a boss fight or something else but you want to DT the pack before so you can pump some AoE you simply couldn’t because of that.
Yup, absolutely right. Getting DT off the GCD is all the change we need. Get over it you lazy dudes in favour of baking the ability in, just press the damn keybind if it’s off the GCD there’s no harm done.
They seem to noticed some obvious trash changes, oh wait…
In a serious note, glad Blizzard decided unbaked Dark Transformation from Apocalypse.
Dark Transformation wasn’t the reason why Unholy opener feels clunky.
I don’t understand people complaining about the recent changes. It means blizz is actually looking in to it, be happy you sour apples
They actually made us stupidly op and you guys rejected it.
Congratulations!
Just look into “Convocation of the dead” and “Eternal Hunger”.
The changes weren’t rolled back because some idiots “gave feedback”. UH would have been stupidly OP.

So about some CE Raider who explain why this is not how to fix the problem are idiot ? 
those were some big game combos but saddly way to powerfull, fun detected.
better they noticed that now than having to nerf us when SL goes live
currently DC seems to have retained the CDR on apoc tho, so not all was lost

I changed my mind. I preferred it when it was baked into apocalypse.
Apocalypse actually felt awesome to press, and the interaction with Army of the Damned made it super engaging. It became this huge “HERE IT COMES!” moment. It feels pretty painful to have lost that.
Also, unholy DK actually felt smooth for the first time in forever. Coming back to how it is now, the clunk and awkwardness is back, and it’s far less enjoyable.
I genuinely think we made a mistake on this one.
the problem was with already implemented conduits that would make you have fast apoc with a long DTs, plus more unforseen effects that would impact DT were impacting apoc. it was just way to powerfull
removing DT from GCD would make both parties happy as you could macro to apoc anyway AND keep it instant for fast reaction in pvp
