Are pure DPS classes really just another form of hybrid in disguise?

@Snuzzle That isn't entirely true. I play a mage, my main spec is fire but I've switched to arcane to pull some more dps on a few fight. Like kabshiel was saying, certain stat weights are vastly different. With the same gear, for my Fire spec I had just over 8 or 9 mastery and around 25% crit, with my gear regemmed and reforged for Arcane I have around 18 mastery and 18% crit. Imagine me being told to go fire for one fight with my current gear setup, I'd do worse than the offtank. Which actually happened, I'm arcane for Hagara heroic since we have ranged stack in the center but we decided to down her on normal for the achievment so I switched to fire. I hardly broke 20k dps, the only reason I did is that i got a lucky Combustion off during heroism.
