I think a more valid comparison can be made with a simple strawman test for single target dps. Demo does about 1.6-1.8k max dps where a HoX can do no more than 1.6K over the course of strawman parse, advantage Demo. Uncertainty about amount of multiple targets and target midagation make it hard to narrow down a comparison between HoX and Demo in aoe, both are about even just comes down to being mele range or 30 meters away.
