Taken from the post " 2nd Wing out, DPS in raids...."

From Ghostcrawler

Rogues, and especially Mutilate rogues, really shine on fights where they don't have to move or deal with adds. If there were 3-4 adds, DKs and warriors would probably dominate instead.

Let's look at ToC just because everyone is more familiar with it now and isn't still learning the fights.

Who does well on Northrend Beasts? Rogues, but also mages, locks and hunters. It's arguably the most "normal" ToC fight, if "normal" even means anything anymore

.

I'm sorry but Locks seriously don't do well on Northrend beasts, you're really smoking some good stuff there GC.

I don't see any locks in there till around 66th rank and the trend continues for the most part for every single fight in the game as it stands now, the only place locks seem to be more on par is Putricide but then that is only Affliction Locks, us Destro locks are being left well behind.

I don't think you can translate the fact that there are 65 other players who have ever beaten maximum warlock dps as evidence that warlock dps is too low.

However, we do think it is a little low across the board (all three specs) and have some plans to adjust, as I recently sticked above.

Tetron's approach is a good example of how I would recommend going about it if you're trying to produce some reasonable numbers. He tries to generate a decent sample size, tries to analyze his results, and keeps in mind limitations.

You don't have to post numbers to contribute to the forums, and it's probably not the most beneficial thing you can be doing. Numbers are something we can collect trivially. Feedback from real players is much harder and therefore more valuable.

But if you are going to spend your time providing feedback on "my dps is too low" then it is helpful to try to support it the way Tetron did.
