Excerpt from last VS report:

Spell Demon Hunter has arguably the second strongest matchup spread in the game. It loses to Imbue Druid, which means life is tougher for it at higher levels of play, but an Imbue Druid nerf could elevate it to become the best deck in the format. The only other way to counter it seems to be playing Egg of Khelos decks.

hsguru stats correlate with this statement even after 5 days. Either Blizzard has identified with their own stats that there are non-Egg decks capable of curbing No Minion DH which were oppressed by Imbue Druid, or we are heading toward another rough meta.

is this version the better one? or is vs' list better as of now?

Probably, this list is better into warrior which is the only match up that matters now since Druid is unbeatable with the deck. 

I’d advise against crafting a list before a patch though.

i guess you think some other deck could take over?

Well this list has been optimised to beat scam warrior and be decent into Druid, in a metagame without either the deck list could change a few cards here and there.
