Where is the DRG right now in terms of viability, popularity, meta/end game?

I used to love playing DRG but haven’t even equipped a lance since probably 3.1, when I threw one on last night I realized that soo many of my abilities are gone or change and my hotbars are a hot mess!

I know, I know..all classes are viable, play what you enjoy, don’t listen to what everyone else says, blah blah! Lol

But I want to hear what everyone says, I want to know pros and cons, the good the bad AND the ugly.
