Maybe this is the role of the demo form in PvP!

Just got a thought about the demon form. Maybe we have been looking at the demon form in the wrong way. How would you all look at the demon form as a finishing burst damage/ fast cc, especially in PvP?

Emagine this scenario:

You are in, say a 2v2 arena, and you are fighting against a healer and dps. You manage to get the dps down to ~6.000 health (how much will that be at level 80 in %??) you send felguard to charge and stun the healer --> cast shadow burn on dps --> go demon form --> leap towards the dps --> do demon strike and shadow cleave --> Howl of terror (hope he runs away from the healer) --> go back to caster form and go all out on the dps.

This could all happen in about 4-5 sec and the felguard stun of the healer is 3 sec. If the howl of terror sends the the dps in the right direction this could chew trough perhaps 50% health of the dps without them being able to do squad.

Maybe you could fake an attack on the dps, then do this against the healer, leaping away from the dps and take the healer down while your team mate slow down the dps or just help against the healer.

Ohh, have anyone noticed whether going into demon form and turning it of would reset the summoned demons abilities? The Intercept is 30sec cooldown, but if it is reset, you could do another stun of the healer after the demon form... now we are talking about taking a target down from allmost full heath if we are alowed to cast our dots before doing this trick!

Demon form sudenly look pretty need in PvP to me... sadly I'm not in beta so I can't try this out... any one up for the job... please?

PS: A double dps team might be the best option for this... a shadow priest boosting the shadow damage of our boost.

So, does this sound compleatly way of, or do you think it could work?


Edit: Time calculation:
Shadowburn instant 1,5sec cooldown, Metamorphosis instant 1,5sec cooldown, Demon leap instant 1,5sec cooldown, Demon strike next melee & Shadow cleave instant 1,5 cooldown, Howl of terror instant & leave demon form 1,5sec... ok, it’s not 5 sec, more like 7,5sec... but haste would work wonders on this (with a 1 sec cooldown you would reach the 5 sec), and it would still just require 1 more cc from your teammate to work with the 7,5 sec. You could also move the shadowburn to the end of this rotation, saving 1,5sec for the same effect, but that is all situational. The spell following this rotation would still be cast after the same timeperiod.
