I cannot agree with the underlying message told here. While I believe rogues should be a powerhouse for melee assault and their dps should be very high I must state that their dps should never top a mage (given appoximate equal gearing) in any setting. The statement is carefully constructed but the message is subtly clear that Blizzard is doing nothing to stop the onslaught that rogues currently bring.
Rogues, in addition to their dps have multiple ways to survive and even remove themself from combat once in it. Given that currently their dps is so amazingly high and yet they retain all their "get out of jail free cards" while mages have high dps...and thats it, I think something needs to be done
Given equal gearing between a mage and a rogue the mage should always, ALWAYS do more damage to any PVP player. While I understand that some PVE fights may be structured around a magic immune boss I feel that blizzard is spending too much time modifying dps to a class that has always been beautifully structured.
From a pure lore perspective. A "mage" should not only be doing the most dps at all times, but should have "tricks" that atleast come near to the rogues bag of goodies.
