One of the things I've noticed is that people seem to think that Priests are underpowered, when all I see is the exact opposite. Here, on the past two weeks, on a fight by fight basis, by logs (out of 23 dps specs)(25 Heroic, but the pattern is exactly the same on others):
Stone Guard: We are 5th
Feng the Accursed: 12th (the middle)
Gara'jal: 13th (again, the middle)
Spirit Kings: 3rd
Elegon: 3rd
Will of the Emperor: 5th
Zor'lok: 8th
Blade Lord: 11th
Garalon: 10th
Wind Lord:10th
Un'sok: 7th
Shek'zeer: 4th
Protectors: 5th
Tsulong: 4th
Lei Shi: 12th
Sha of Fear: 6th
(if you would like to see what I referenced:
http://www.raidbots.com/dpsbot/Spec_...11100000000000 this links to spec score, which we are near the top, but I went on a fight by fight basis 25HC)
Wait a second, you mean on not one out of 16 fights were below the average (I am aware the halfway point is 11.5 and we do have 12s and 13s. I'm not here to argue semantics. On each of those fights the deltas are ridiculously small around the 11.5 mark). In fact, on each fight there are generally 5-6 specs that do 10% better than the rest, and we are in that group on a third of the fights?
