And your damage is adjusted accordingly. Auto attack abilities are taken into account for each class that uses them when Blizzard calculates class DPS and balances around it. Thats just a troll whine. You press the same number of buttons as a Hunter. I'm steady shotting if something is on CD like you're using wrath. If they removed auto shot they'd just increase the damage for each shot to compensate.
Bonus: You can auto attack as a moonkin in melee like every other class. So there you go. You can afk DPS like everyone else.
