As the Topic says, which class is actually best for DPS?

I've seen a fury warrior do over 2000 damage per second . . .

I am a little confused, a fury warrior can't do 2000pts of damage per second on me (moonkin) and i am not even a raid boss. I am not sure, but I think most bosses have more armor then a moonkin (around 14500 ac). I guess the other question is what do you do when fighting bosses like "prince" do you still do 2000pt/sec when running. Last question how do those fury warriors drop threat again in raid?

yep casters can do nothing but run against prince except locks(dot,dot,dot)
and ye 1 thing warrs are missing is the way to reduce threat made
locks,rogues,druids and others can do that but warrs cant making them a rly bad raid dpsers even tho they can crit alot sometimes

he's highly exagerating on the amount of dps a warrior can put out. anyone can go to wowwebstats.com and look at the top guilds and see how much dps every one of their members do in hyjal/black temple gear.

lets look at an illidan kill: http://wowwebstats.com/3qggaevvl4h2u?s=6111-7125

the dps warrior had 1356 dps... not quite 2000

but yea lots of moving around on illidan well lets look at a fight that's easy mode for melee and tough on casters...

lets look at a kaz'rogal kill: http://wowwebstats.com/nczypwhyqwzbs?s=4575-4732

dps warrior had 1559 dps there... and on that fight melee just stays outside of warstomp range and burns nonstop...

so yea 2000 is kinda... overstating it... and i doubt the op would ever get enough t5/t6 go see the amount of dps you'd see in some of the top guilds on wowwebstats...

also i'm pretty sure raid bosses don't have much armor.. pretty sure after 5 sunders and a faerie fire they're close to no armor at all. if they had an incredible amount of armor, then melee would get pretty ticked off since casters don't have to deal with incredible amounts of spell resist..

You can not compare dps in PVP to dps in Raiding, I do not know the calculations that are used but you should have noticed by now that you hit a lot harder in raidds than you do anywhere else. 2000dps for a furry warrior isnt that much Ive seen some with a lot more dmg ouput than that. And yes one of the bad things right now is that the only for a warrior to drop threat is to stop attacking or die. The next patch though will help the raiding furry warrior a lot as for the first time we will have a talent that reduces threat so you should see furry warriors topping the damage meters once again.
