Deathwing rampaged across azeroth spreading the fires of doom among its denizens until he was caught in a mysterious vortex, transporting him to the Nexus. The vortex warped his ability to transform almost permanently, stuck in his humanoid form he will destroy everything in the nexus and find a way to return to azeroth, even if he has to conjure a new cataclysm.

Feedback and Additional Information.
In the past Blizzard mentioned that they wanted to add Deathwing to the Heroes roster but said they could not find a way around it because he is too big, what about his humanoid form? I know it seems a bit of an overkill but maybe the nexus restricts his dragon form to the point where he can only use it temporarily inside the nexus.
His abilities are inspired by his boss encounter as well as part of his lore such as for example when he was driven to madness by the old god N'zoth and obviously the cataclysm he conjured following his return to azeroth.
Still in progress for additional information and talents. Feedback and ideas are always nice to see.

Pros and Cons
Pro
Can restore lost health. Reducing any harassment and good against mercenary camps.
Can deal part of the enemies damage back to them.
Strong CC and can deal moderate damage.
Can disable enemy forces including Mercs and Structures with first heroic.
Can turn the tide of team fights with second heroic.
I am thinking of updating Deathwing to become more of a protector/CC or turning him into a Specialist. Any thoughts on this would be great!
