SimulationCraft does not support this fight for Devourer Demon Hunter.Its own report says results for this spec in the M+ dungeon are inaccurate and should not be used, so the build is not ranked there. The raid boss figures are not affected.

Patched: SimulationCraft needs a fix to play Blizzard's list for this spec.Patch 0005-demonhunter-sba-button-overrides. In the game Metamorphosis turns Blade Dance into Death Sweep and Chaos Strike into Annihilation, Throw Glaive becomes Reaver's Glaive, and several Devourer buttons change in place (Consume becomes Devour, Reap becomes Cull, Voidblade becomes Hungering Slash, Pierce the Veil or Reaper's Toll, Metamorphosis becomes Collapsing Star). SimulationCraft never pressed the new buttons. The patch lets each button become its replacement. Without the fix (SimulationCraft as published, or Raidbots) the assistant's figures differ; manual play is not affected.

How it's measured, and its limits

SBA + cooldown is a best case: the simulator never misplays. It is always better to sim your own character.
Manual play is SimulationCraft's own rotation executed perfectly, so it is an upper bound for what a person can do, not a typical player.
Assisted Highlight assumes every suggestion is seen and pressed at once, which is generous for a player reading the highlight.
The M+ dungeon is SimulationCraft's own DungeonSlice fight style, its approximation of Mythic+ pulls, not a specific dungeon route.
Best talents for the button: of SimulationCraft's build, the top 10 Mythic+ players' builds on murlok.io and a talent search for the button, the one that deals the most with SBA + cooldown in the M+ dungeon. Gear and rotation are unchanged.
SimulationCraft ships no profile for some hero talents (9 here). Those use SimulationCraft's gear with a top player's build: a top Mythic+ player's build on murlok.io in M+, and on the raid boss the most played build in top raid kills on Warcraft Logs when there are any, otherwise SimulationCraft's raid talents with that Mythic+ build's hero talents (or the Mythic+ build itself where it deals more). No talent search for the button has been run for them yet.
SimulationCraft ships no profile at all for Devastation Evoker and Balance Druid. Those use the median gear of real +15 players, raised to the item level of SimulationCraft's profiles, with the build most real players use (or a top player's build where too few play that hero talent), and a talent search for the button.
