Regardless though, currently on Warcraft logs are warriors pulling 1k-1.5k pure ST DPS over a 1 min fight. Their only CD to really change up average DPS is Recklessness, which is a 30 min CD so is only used on specific fights. This is just in MC. Rogues and casters are lower, but they get much better with gear, and mages especially get crazy when they can go Fire with proper gear.
Patchwerk has 3.9 million HP. I don't really remember what specific numbers we used for Naxx, but let's just say 2 tanks, 12 healers, and 26 DPS. Patchwerk has a 7 minute timer until soft enrage. So 3.9 Million damage over 420 seconds comes out to needing ~9,300 DPS. 9,300 DPS across 26 people, so not even including tank DPS, comes out to each person needing to do about 360 DPS.
That's it. 360 DPS is the minimum requirement to down Patchwerk. People are already doing double this amount, some even triple or more. On top of that, groups likely will be running less than 12 healers, I mostly did that just to show how pathetically easy this content is. And gear is only going to get better, much much better. Patchwerk is going to explode.
