It's only got one old demo ability
I do kinda like this tbh, thinking back on the wc3 metamorphosis. Then again, that was basically what old demo metamorphosis was.

That is true and my original design was based around that but then they added soulfire and such back to warlock so I opted to explore the more Demon based stuff. Carrion Wave is one of my favourites
I like it, we only have two specs, I'd like a new ranged one, +1

Demon hunters are meant to be a user friendly class, so having 2 specs kind of supports the class mentality overall

True DH seems to be blizz' noob friendly class but in WC3 DHs were primarily casters so the lore is they of powers you have is like that of the demon heart you devoured. So seeing that I dont see why you cant have a ranged DH? Can still be simple to play.

You're not forced to play or learn more than one though, goes for any class.

You're right, 2 demo abilities. Chaos Wave and Demonic Leap

Felflame was a destro ability but only the name is the same. has nothing in common with it. It was thinking like fel Mindsear but only the last hit is aoe

True Metamorphosis was a demo ability but it's a DH ability because it literally doesnt function like Demo did and not having meta in DH is just wrong

Carrion Wave is like every other DH beam attack but Dreadlord Vampire bat stuff instead

It would be amazing to have this DH specialisation. Gives W3 feeling! Also old demolocks would be happy to be able to play this (I would main this spec).
