so all in all, thanks.
I don't quite understand this point. What is selfish about chugging mana pots to enable powershifting? Unless he's leeching off the guild bank for them or something, I don't see that as hurting anyone but him (that's got to be a tad expensive). I do understand your point about "if they were after pure DPS, they would have taken a rogue"...but that depends on the group. If the group is stuck with him, and they need DPS, then yes, he could reroll...or he could attempt to maximize his DPS contribution by powershifting. That's not selfish, to me.

Anyway, not every group is going to want to min-max to the tenth decimal place (thanks Tseric, or Tigole, or whoever said it, for this expression XD). My guild has a feral druid who runs with us, and I would never dream of asking him to respec, because that's just not the type of guild we are. However, I would certainly look at a thread like this and suggest powershifting to him, because that's how he can get the most out of what he has chosen to do.

By the way, as far as typing with proper English (or at least the best you can manage) goes, you can consider it pedantic if you'd like. Personally, I look at it this way: this forum is a place for serious, rational, thoughtful discussion. We're not just here to throw opinions around without support, or to stubbornly espouse wild theories. We're here to think, to discuss, to learn. Posting in coherent, readable English (or, again, your best attempt) shows that you're here to participate in an earnest fashion. It shows that you think we're worthy of your time. If you don't think we're worthy of your time, then we'll respond in kind. But your response in this thread indicates otherwise, and that's what I like to see.

(edit) Wow, I sound like an arrogant jackass. But I stand by what I said. :-P
