Yeah. If this is all of the changes we see....

Blizz really needs to add some raid-wide buff that we can bring or other utility. DPS alone isn't enough with other classes coming close (or being ahead depending on tier and encounter). The original Hemo change in 2.3.0 was nice, but that was nerfed along with the Hemo damage (and just got nerfed again in 2.4.3) so...

But right now I have no in-combat CC (wtb Blowdart stun!), no way to buff the abilities of my group or raid and I'm sorry but while Kick is nice... it's not all that. Give us some way to increase the melee damage or debuff the boss that makes a noticeable difference... please! (and I still want poisonable Blowdarts!!)

I have been saying this for a while. Dont give me the pure class bs. Every class except rogues can help the party/raid somehow.
Warrior=Shouts
Priests=Fort
Locks=Candy
Mage=Food
Druid= Every form except cat that I know of. Nobody Cares about travel or water.
Hunter has Trueshot or misdirection
Palidin=Buffidin
Shaman=Pick a totem

Agree!

Personally, I'd like to be an egoist.

The problem is that the sum of our DPS and utility is not enough to warrant our position in a raid, correct? So why is it then that everyone says, "Therefore, let us be exactly like every other class and have utility" rather than "Perhaps our DPS should be increased"?

I like the idea of raid synergy, but I think there should be at least one class that says, "Screw it, I'm in this for me."
