I'm starting to get a little disapointed with the warrior community we have on this site. If you think Firebert's posts have no context you should ignore them and not bother argueing because he's not going to listen anyway. Stop filling entire pages with pointless discussions- do that in PM if you absolutely have to.
It's pretty obvious these threads are made to push each spec to it's maximum DPS and nothing else. If you consider it "viable" to do less DPS because of preference, go ahead and play that style but don't come here to pick stupid fights when people have math stating otherwise.
