As healer, i find that melee dps taking much more damage than casters in 5man heroics. I just dont know is it so cos fights mechanics or melee dont run from fire fast enough. But pattern is always the same and i hate it when i get 2 or even 3 melee dps in LFD group.
I also play a rogue and often i have trouble spotting fires/void zones etc spawning under boss. Like in TotT heroic and shaman healing, i cant differ shammy Healing rain and boss water area dot on ground. Also being melee, I sometimes find myself out of range for interupt or even dps, and that can be fatal many times.
So, im interested is it GENERALLY easier to play melee dps or caster dps? I would vote caster dps, its like raid awareness is higher when playing caster. What do you think?
