Honestly I checked the skill out and even though its only like a short cooldown, really not sure about the benefits of the skill and frenzy is all i pretty much need. Fire away your opinions.

    Don't have it yet myself, but from what I can tell it's pretty meh. Another small aoe skill that you can have on rotation but I don't see myself using it. If you're using Frenzy, you probably prefer the extra final damage from low hp and so healing doesn't make sense. If you want aoe, it's too small and the damage isn't much better than Thousand Swords unless you charge, which you won't because it takes too much time. If it did lvl 3 damage/effects without the charge time, it would be a viable tool for DA's.

    Also, the nerf to Frenzy, now -6000 HP per second, was completely unnecessary.

    I find Demon Blast sort of good for mobbing, however, using it against bosses while utilizing Frenzy continuously drains your HP with 6000 HP loss per second. Also, they reduced the healing restriction for Frenzy from the maximum of 4% HP per hit to 2% at max level. This makes it hard to recover HP while using both skills simultaneously and can lead to an easy death.
    Overall, the skill is mediocre because it doesn't provide many benefits to damage and HP regeneration.

    P.S. The nerf for Frenzy was not in the patch notes.
