Fire has suffered quite a bit tbh. Made completely Worthless in 5.1 then buffed again in 5.2-5.3. Then nerfed again in 5.4 even thought its still relatively competitive
I don't think you understand what "sample bias" means.
If the best players only play what is perceived to be the best spec, then the other specs will be played by less skilled players. So, the "bad spec" parses are NEVER from the best players. You will NEVER see what MM is capable of in this kind of chart.
That's the first thing.
The second thing is that if a spec is subject to RNG (say, if a good pull works out to a 50k advantage over the course of a fight) then when you pick only the best parses from a spec, you get a wholly unrealistic view of its AVERAGE capability.
I've tried explaining this concept to people on other subjects and you'd be surprised how much the average Joe cannot understand "intervals."

I believe that Prot Warriors and Holy Priests suffer from the same illness. ALL THE BUTTONS are belong to us!
They both have TOO much shit. It doesn't matter if that 1 spell is situational, you're going to need it. Because the moment you don't have it on a bar, that is exactly when the moment will fucking arrive.

Atoms are liars, they make up everything!
From the classes/specs I tried its Shadow Priest for me as no. 1 followed by ww monk. I also didnt like the start of MoP as a bear tank, the new tree split up was confusing and tbh I liked it more before when I could utilize skills as cat and bear depending on the situation rather than how now the class seems half crippled considering druids are supposed to be true hybrids.
