Priorities from Skill Capped's Havoc Demon Hunter guide for 12.1 (Midnight Season 2).
Havoc Demon Hunters as kickers
Havoc Demon Hunters stop 21% of the high-priority enemy casts they meet with their interrupt ready. Across every spec with an interrupt it is 12%.
A chance is a cast from a kick list, begun while the player was alive, free to act, had their kick off cooldown and stood within its range. The combat log has no line of sight, so a pillar may have been in the way.
