I honestly can never recall when at least one mage or rogue spec wasn't stupidly good, top tier in PvP. Blizzard can't tolerate it that their "favorite" classes aren't strong enough to global someone or completely outclass other class types (rogues outclass warriors, ret, dk and enh as of 4.3), (mages outclass boomkin, shadow and ele).
I was playing Ele Shaman all through Cata, some of the worst gaming experiences in my entire life were in 4.1 because of how terrible it was. They buffed but they didn't even fix the major problems ele had, I had to quit in 4.3 because of how dominant rogues are over ele and how common, FOTM they are now.
A lot of classes are being made redundant because of how stupidly op rogues are, they dominate everything...even without PvE gear. I now play Hpala to avoid the grief they bring but as of late, more and more rogues are being boosted to legendary daggers.
I got bursted down from 100% - dead (166k hp) in less than 8 seconds from the legendary dagger buff as a hpala with 4.5k resilience while popping some instant heals as I trinketed the quick kidney after cheap. Most classes solo can't even get me below 75%.
Completely broken class, even fire mages and feral druids looks super-weak compared to this. It blows my mind that even though the expansion is coming, no patch or hotfix is coming to alleviate the issues. It's like leaving a broken tap on for months.
