With WoW Shadowlands, the developers have gone down a path that they had actually already abandoned. In the past, external cooldowns like Blessing of Power were taken out of the game because, according to Blizzard, it's not much fun if you have to leave your cooldowns to another player for maximum group performance. With Shadowlands, however, not only did some of them return, but thanks to pact abilities and various soul bands, there were some on top.
That wasn't a problem so far. Neither in the balancing nor in the general gameplay did it stand out in a negative way and Blizzard was also completely satisfied with the return. How much influence such abilities can have in the game, however, can be seen at the current time, as the raid is no longer challenging for many and raid evenings are made fun in other ways.

When the whole raid plays for one player
The Asian Shadow Priest 阿拉伯二舅子 has now blown up almost all raid logs on a raid night - with the help of his raid group. Even with the final boss Sylvanas it was not only enough for the first place of all players - he also left all other shadow priests miles behind.
He put almost 24k DpS on the table with the soul shredder Dormazain. By comparison, the world's second-best Shadow Priest came in at a measly 17.5k. In the Tarragrue, he racked up a ridiculous 90k DpS!
