Do magicka based dds use Evil Hunter for endgame (vwgt, vicp, vma, vdsa)?

I don't remember reading a magicka build tutorial using evil hunter lately. It used to be so popular against daedric enemies before, is it almost absolete now?

Backing up your answer with numbers/links/research will be greatly appreciated!
Skye Cloude - Sorc DPS, Master Crafter. Main, the bestest
Lae Lenne - Templar Healer Trial grade.
Dromede - Stamina Nightblade, she's a newb and doesn't know what she's doing
V'oghatta - Stamplar pretending to be a tank
Ulville Thonvella - aspiring Fire Mage, be careful around her fire sticks!
Dromedaris - lost and not found. Named after a shoe, what else can you expect from her? A proper tank in her wildest dreams
Swims-Naked - too pretty to grind, too silly to quest.
Sun Flair - Dunmer Templar that can't spell for life. To bad she's too broke to afford a name change... Well, at least she's pretty...

    Sorry, don't have numbers but for me it is because I don't have space on my bar. Also, back when Evil Hunter was popular we also had soft caps and magicka and stamina pools didn't affect max damage, so Evil Hunter was a great way to boost dps against these targets. Now, it is larely outweighed by other options.

    Still a popular stamina build option though.

    Thank you for insight! I guess i wanted numbers because a year or so ago you had to use Evil Hunter if you wanted to complete vdsa as a dps.

    Evil hunter is only for stamina regen and only against undead and daedra pointless for most of Vdsa.

    I have actually seen some (extremely good) magicka dps using it. One magicka templar in particular was pulling over 50k dps in vWGT with it o.O

    Personally, I don't run it right now because 1)I don't have space on my bars and 2)I have 9k stamina. I like being able to break free and/or roll dodge at least ONCE if something goes wrong rather than being OOS because I chose to use Evil Hunter.
    My guess would be it's still somewhat viable but kind of tricky. And depending on your class and build you might get better results slotting a different skill in its place.

    Sorry for the lack of math and numbers, but hopefully I can explain it enough anyways;
    Problem with Expert Hunter and it´s morphs is that all of them scale off stamina. This means their damage will also scale off stamina. In most magicka builds, you won´t have enough stamina to make it a viable skill and thus you´re better off using other skills to boost your damage.

    Use prismatic weapon enchants instead if you are fighting alot of daedric mobs.
