I know you're not supposed to feed the trolls, but I couldn't resist. XD

Clearly you are confused. As an affliction warlock (widely recognised as the top build right now), not only can I top DPS meters in many of the groups I'm in, I can do it without any support from the healers (besides getting healed through raid damage). I regenerate hitpoints faster than I lifetap them away. In fact, any mildly-competent affliction warlock should be able to stand in front of the target dummy and just DPS indefinitely.

I agree with the rest of that post (bad locks should be low healing priorities). Now for your other post:

face it, without a healer playing nanny to you, you'd be at the bottom of any dps meter - dead"

Again, there seems to be some serious confusion here. A mildly competent affliction lock should be able to maintain dps, lifetap when needed, and never go below 75% HP (without something hitting him). I don't need or want healers paying any attention to me on Patchwork. Any time they spend on me is time they should have spent healing one of the tanks (since there's absolutely no raid damage). I've even told the healers this, and most choose to throw an instant heal or hot on me anyway if I'm more than 1000hp away from full.

And for the record, I have passed 5200dps on patch, and I'm not even NEAR the top lock in the guild most of the time.
