This isn't about slacking or sucking or whatever - it's just that our class has it's limitations. I'm not going to say i play my druid perfectly, however, i doubt, that anyone could get anything near 5 % more out of my druid.
As i already stated in my last post, the rogue has several pretty significant advantages over me - he almost always wears full dps gear, he is always in a windfury group and he has some of the best gear available to us (we're at kael atm).
So theoretically making up for the handicap i have - me having better gear and being in an optimal dps group for me (featuring agi totem) - the difference would definately not be 500 dps.
And even if it were, i feel like rebirth is worth a lot - look at Teron Gorefiend for example (as you mentioned him). I didn't do the fight myself yet, however, from what i gathered people are going to die early in the fight, no matter what you do. Casting rebirth on anyone dead early effectively adds his dps to your from now on (as he would be dead otherwise).
Apart from that, i don't know how many protection warriors you are taking to your raids. We usually have 1-2, and with rare exceptions, feral druids are heavily favoured over dps warriors in terms of offtanking. And even if i don't do 1500 dps, i definately do a lot more dps than a protection warrior or dps warrior in half tanking gear.
I think our role is somehow comparable to shadow priests. They rarely top damahe meters nowadays (heavily depends on the fight), usually i end up somewhere between them. However, their utility - mana- and healthreg - is worth so much, that their effective dps is a lot higher than what it shows up on any damage meter.
