Subtlety Viable?

[Kael]

Viable is pretty subjective. As a DPS we're brought to DPS, so where do you draw the line of viability? Can they enter the raid and do any DPS? Can they do more than X dps? Can they beat more than X classes?

Most groups bring a blend of the highest dps/utility classes and seeing as sub doesn't provide any extra utility and sits neatly on the bottom of the barrel, how can it be coined as "viable"

I'd call the above a description of viable for progression. If you can easily keep up with the people you run with and your group isn't extra-frustrated that they (you all) don't have a bit more DPS to down a new boss, sub is viable for what you are doing. If you're taking progression seriously (at a non-heroic pace at this point), you *could* use Sub without falling behind, but it will make you work MUCH harder for the same damage, survival, and usability - averaged across all encounters. Some are less punishing than others.

I don't think it would be viable, maybe just test it and see what it's like in LFR or something similar.
