What does a 3rd mage or lock bring to the group beyond their DPS? Absolutely nothing.

5% crit is actually very nice for a Shadowpriest's group since it increases VE nicely. Though, I'll admit it's not ideal for their DPS (at 1000 +dmg, it's only about 1% more dps)

To sum it up for our overlord from D&T: Wow, thanks for taking the time out of your no doubtedly busy schedule as god of all DPS to visit us peasants and let us know that we are in fact still peasants. In a raid like yours, where min-maxing raid DPS is essential to remain near the top there is no real reason. Moonkin DPS is still low as I've said in every moonkin thread, as nice as Bekah's numbers look, they are more than a little bit off (incorrect coef on wrath for one) So at the top end of things, we fall short.

For people who aren't nearly as concerned that every piece of t4/5/6/9 ends up in the hands of the person that can in theory use it the best, Moonkin are a nice addition to a caster group.
