The second problem is that you're playing a hpala, the throughput is very low, our sustained dps is very low. They have tiny dps windows where they can burst. In contrast, healers like disc priests sometimes deal comparable damage to their dps buddy. This is insane.
The third problem is that some classes are incredibly bursty, without defensive cds, there's windows where killing someone in 2-3 seconds is very feasible. This can only be done with the help of the healer though, refer to point 2 to see that disc priests at the moment are broken in 2vs2.
