The extreme dps imbalances we see so far in ICC are a concern, but really don't matter too much at this point with all of the content being relatively easy.

However, if the current large discrepancies between rogues, DKs and everyone else persist, it is a certainty we are going to see major rogue stacking for dps sensitive hardmodes.

The issue is not that rogues are the best, and DKs are better than everyone else, but rather the magnitude of the discrepancy. Rogues remain so far ahead of everyone else, that a lesser skilled lesser geared mut rogue, will still beat just about anyone else most of the time on the 3 fights for which we currently have data.

Rogues on top for all 3. Ok, they are all potentially melee friendly and rogues should be best melee. But there's no special factor that selectively boosts rogues on these 3 fights to justify them being that far ahead of other melee. They are killing DKs, and destroying everyone else.

Be careful how you analyze those "highest dps ever" lists.

1) Highest dps ever does not mean those results are reproducible. Most players would rather do consistently high damage all of the time than ridiculously high damage once under a blue moon. You can't just look at those "scoreboards" and get a feel for what the average rogue does, just because 50 of them (or whatever the number is) can squeeze out some impressive numbers when they get lucky / the stars align.

2) It's unfortunately going to be a few weeks before all the pre-nerf Mutilate and Unholy parses get watered down by the post-nerf numbers.
