When were we ontop of damage meters? oh you mean those few miniscule weeks between 2 patches. Silly boy. With your mentality, resto druids and holy pallies should be suffering as they were dominating in those aspects in Vanilla. That makes NO sense.
Also, you're pretty stupid to come into a WARRIOR column that's obviously talking about some nerfing of our class and NOT expect us to be upset. I'm pretty sure priest forumns were roaring when they were talking about nerfing spirit. How stupid do you have to be?
Also, to some degree you warrior haters are right. Sometimes, your spec is on the top, sometimes on the bottom. What you are FAILING to grasp is the fact BOTH our DPS and TANKING can no longer compete. All you bear tanks will fire back "BC I couldn't get a group" but what you don't see or will refuse to admit is you could respec resto and get in groups. OUR problem is our tanking is mediocre and our DPS is downright pathetic. Maybe the NUMBERS for our DPS are solid but the simple fact is we have no raid utility. We are getting out DPSed by feral, boomkin, ret, and DKs. All of which not only out DPS us, but are just plain more useful. Let's make kings and might 2 minutes and only castable in combat. let's make auras only useable in combat. Now let's make all of those specs lowest DPS. You DON'T get into raids.
THe problem isn't that we aren't top. The problem is WE ARE A USELESS CLASS RIGHT NOW. A ret pally could be the lowest DPS in the raid and not get kicked because he/she has THREE vital buffs, 1 vital aura, and raid wide judgements.
Get THAT through your THICK hybrid dpsing SKULLS.
