Anyone can stay competitive when playing against players who are worse than themselves.
DW is weak, when a 581 warrior sims 480k to a 586 dk simming 460 on WITH custom mods to the DK sim-c priority, assuming full AMS soaking every 35 seconds.
None of your arguments are valid. Anyone can play a spec better than poor players, that has no impact on how good the spec is. The fact is if you played a stronger class you'd do even better than those players, so it doesn't gain you anything.
I raided through 14/14H on a DW DK, as well as a TG fury warrior, and ran sims often to compare. DK scaling sucks, even if you don't know it.
