DPS difference on 3 minute Guarm kills does not make the slightest bloody difference for how useful ferals are on actual progress. Now, the real question is how well we can do on bosses in the Nighthold, and how important single target dps is there. Being able to do high single target damage to main targets regardless of the situation has always been our strength (as it has been our weakness as well), and it will continue to be. I suspect that reports of our "weak" single target damage in comparison to the buffed specs have been heavily exaggerated, as they always are. Remember when the whole feral community thought we were useless prior to Emerald Nightmare, and we turned out to be top dps (ignoring Shadow Priests)?
Additionally, I do think it would be boring if no classes had situations they prefer, but that's a whole different discussion entirely.
