Obviously you don't remember much about progression raiding. What flask was it that all the top end guilds used when getting world firsts pre BC? It wasn't dps stats.
You're flat out wrong, anyway. The tiny, tiny dps boost you gain from spirit gems is less than 10 dps. There are plenty of fights where you take a ridiculous amount of unavoidable damage in Uldaur, where I've seen mages die simply because they have little to no hp. P2 mimiron comes to mind, ignis when he bursts when fire ward is on cooldown, Thorim, Gravity Bombs on XT, Razorscale fireballs, etc. That extra hp saves your life, which is far better than the tiny dps boost from spirit gems.
but by all means, keep thinking that other mages more progressed than you are wrong and you're right. Typically when people see that players better than them are doing something different, they think "huh, there must be something to that" and not "wow, they're stupid".
