"Mate, NOTHING in the matter of balance is anywhere that important as balance issues in arenas."

Shoehorning classes into being balanced, even, 1-on-1 damage dealers where most were never, ever intended to be, effectively ignoring the intended role of most classes and inhibiting their ability to perform those roles everywhere else in the game, all to cater to one of the smaller niches of the population is "THE MOST IMPORTANT BALANCE ISSUE" in WoW?

Something about that doesn't seem right...can anyone else put their finger on it?

"You had Rejuv ticking 3 times instead of 4? Get out."

There's a BIG difference between having a DoT/HoT tick one less time and having your damage-per-second DROP by 500-1,000 or more from one patch to the next, despite using the same gear and the best possible DPS talents in that spec and knowing the class inside and out. The former is a non-issue, the latter is CRIPPLING. The former is not the result of arena "balancing," the latter IS.
