I did this back in Firelands and DS so I thought I would do the same now that we have some solid numbers to look into to.
Using 25 man heroic WOL parses as reported by raidbots.com and using the highest dps spec from each class for a total of 11. (what that means is if one class has 2 or more specs in the top 11 it is not counted, basically I use the top spec for each class so a total of 11 possible slots)
Spec score/ Top 100/ Max/ 2months
Mage: 1
Lock: 2
Rogue: 3
War: 4
Druid: 5
DK: 6
Monk: 7
Pally: 8
SPriest: 9
Sham: 10
Hunter: 11
Spec score/ All Parses/ Max/ 2 months
Hunter: 11
Spec score/ All Parses/ Average/ 2 months
Hunter: 11
Spec score/ All Parses/ Default/ 2 months
Hunter: 11
We can clearly see no matter how you put the settings in spec score hunters are dead last so lets look at Dps:
Dps/ Top 100/ Max/ 2 months
Hunter: 11
Dps/ All Parses/ Max/ 2 months
Hunter: 11
Dps/ All Parses/ Average/ 2 months
Hunter: 11
Dps/ All Parses/ Default/ 2 months
Hunter: 11
So I think that sums it up pretty well, last year I had some people say this information wasnt enough and I should look at the individual fights, so here we go... forgive me for the length but posting this now saves time later:
Dps/ Top 100/ Max/ 2 months
Stone Dogs: 11th
Feng:10th
Garajal:11th
Kings:10th
Elegon: 11th
Emp: 11th
Vizier: 9th
Bladelord: 6th
Garalon: 11th (only used 1 month due to the pet bug on legs being fixed a few weeks ago to get a more acurate number)
Windlord: 11th (this is the aoe fight that SV is supposed to excell at...)
Dps/ All Parses/ Max/ 2 months
Stone Dogs: 11th
Feng: 11th
Garajal: 11th
Kings: 11th
Elegon: 11th
Emp: 11th
Vizier: 8th
Bladelord:7th
Garalon: 11th
Windlord: 11th
Dps/ All Parses/ Average/ 2 months
Stone Dogs:11th
Feng:10th
Garajal: 9th
Kings: 7th
Elegon: 10th
Emp: 11th
Vizier: 5th
Bladelord: 10th
Garalon: 11th
Windlord: 11th
Dps/ All Parses/ Default/ 2 months
Stone Dogs: 11th
Feng: 10th
Garajal: 8th
Kings: 7th
Elegon: 11th
Emp: 10th
Vizier: 5th
Bladelord: 10th
Garalon: 11th
Windlord: 10th
In basically every scenerio according to the WOL parses posted, I do not see hunters "near the top" on any fight whatsoever as Ghostfailure said a few weeks ago, in point of fact I see what I saw back before we got buffed at the end of FL... hunters sucking the ass end of 95% of the fights and average to low on one fight that allows the pet 100% uptime on a boss (Vizier)
Thoughts?
