This is the Havoc (DPS) version of the Metamorphosis ability. The appearance the Demon Hunter becomes more demonic, with hooves and wings, as well as an enhanced physique.

It appears that some of the details of the transformation reflect your character customization choices. (This includes your Demon Hunter's hair color and tattoo choice, at the very least -- though note that the tattoos appear to always be bright green, as mine were purple in normal form.) I tested this by changing my Demon Hunter's hair color and tattoo style in the Barber Shop, then re-using Metamorphosis to compare screenshots. I've submitted both screenshots for reference.

If you're looking for the Vengeance (Tank) version of the ability, you can find it here.

You can have this for 10 minutes. Get the toy in dalaran pet store for 1.000 pet charms. Get the toy from your garrison pet building for 500 pet charms. Use metamorphosis, use the toy to change your pet into your demon hunter form. Beware that a male demon form changes your pet into a female demon form. Then use the other toy to copy your pet appearence. If you are male you will be a male demon.

i realize this is an old comment, but in case anyone else is interested in this kind of thing: as long as you're in a group, you can also use a Reflecting Prism to swap your metamorphosis appearance to a group member, then swap it back to yourself. lasts 5 minutes each time but can be done repeatedly (until you run out of prism charges or stop being in a group)

The devs told us exactly how Havok abilities work in PvP at the link(s) below.

I'm pasting it here as they typically delete the beta forums after release.
