I don't think it's any worse than hammer for sidenodes. D/D just feels soo good to play, one of the best designed sets in the game. D/D ele personifies what this class was meant to be, a swiss army knife for any situation, highly adaptable. And it's still as sturdy as ever. While I play FA Cata more these days D/D will always have some good ol' nostalgia factor for me.

Decent duelist/roamer. Problems with the build are it has no range and you will struggle to do damage vs targets you cant lock down with cc. Also its pretty bad in teamfights.

High kill potential in a 1v1 fight. Solid duelist build, but it is not good at team fights. Try to 1v1 and take the number advantage. You have strong mobility to rotate.

This and the hammer version are two sides of the same coin, very similar builds with a similar power level. Excellent damage and sustain, decent mobility. Very solid in the current meta and fans of the old D/D cele ele will be enjoying this one a lot.
