Class Fantasy & Visuals: Fel-Scarred (Winner)
Of the two options Fel-Scarred wins on class fantasy via buffing Métamorphose and Démoniaque windows to be greatly empowered while in Demon Form. Visually neither hero talents offer any grand appearance with very little in the way of animations.

Fun & Rewarding Gameplay: Fel-Scarred (Winner)

Fel-Scarred changes how you enter your Métamorphose windows and greatly empowers your burst around cooldowns which typically feels rewarding when executed correctly.

Aldrachi Reaver feels more like constantly chasing to keep a debuff on your target with downtime on your target causing issues of maintaining soul generation to maintenance buff yourself and debuff your target, all tied to a button that is not typically satisfying to hit.

Difficulty: Fel-Scarred (Winner)

Fel-Scarred simply has you use more buttons before Métamorphose is pressed, causing an intuitive and not largely impactful change to your rotation.

Aldrachi Reaver on the other hand actively changes your rotation on each usage around an RNG variable in soul spawns to generate the glaives, while needing the correct order of ability casts after Reaver's Glaive. You also talent Cachet de dépit over the entirely passive Angoisse collective for more soul generation adding another rotational cooldown.

Defensiveness & Utility: Aldrachi Reaver (Winner)

Aldrachi Reaver brings Armée dédiée which has a high uptime for great passive damage reduction, with the capability to flexibly use Gangrelame as a defensive on an easy to access and decreased GCD button. Proie blessée and Tactiques des Aldrachi both spawn Fragments d’âme which turn into a moderate amount of self-healing. Aldrachi is lacking in utility but makes up by being defensively stronger for relevant content.

Fel-Scarred is weaker defensively with poor utility nodes. Vague d’apathie has some value in M+ however a 5 second duration on the attack speed/casting speed slow is of little use. Poursuite de la colère gives a small amount of movespeed but Havoc has little use for the mobility offered. Defensively Incendier la douleur is nice as a small damage deferral, however outside of encounters that are primarily Fire damage it provides little in actual DR and is simply weaker than Aldrachi Reaver's Armée dédiée.

Leveling: Fel-Scarred (Winner)
Fel-Scarred does better at AoE pulls and target swapping around low HP mobs that are typically found while leveling. Both hero talents can work fine, however Fel-Scarred is more flexible.

Mythic+: Fel-Scarred (Winner)

By design Fel-Scarred does exactly what a hero talent class should do for Mythic+, bringing great amounts of uncapped AoE burst for dealing damage to large amounts of enemies. Aldrachi Reaver has some benefits over its counterpart that could see it played at the highest of key levels, mainly in higher Priority target DPS and a powerful survivability tool in Armée dédiée that could be required to live certain mechanics.

Raid: Aldrachi Reaver (Winner)

By design Aldrachi Reaver is better suited to single target DPS with a lack of proper AoE to compare with Fel-Scarred. This will give it an edge in almost all raid encounters unless a specific tier set interaction or redesign pushes changes in the future.

Best Overall: Aldrachi Reaver and Fel-Scarred (Tie)

Ultimately both hero specializations have their specific use cases with current tuning and design that will have both relevant depending on content types, with a relatively large loss to not be flexible and swap between them as the situation demands.
