Reason I ask is I'm pretty well geared now, at least as well geared as our rogues, yet while they seem able to break 1.2k dps without breaking a sweat I struggle to hit 1k even when fully focused on dps only and powershifting my whole mana bar. Usually I average about 800 and while this is partly because I often switch out and throw a few regrowths on melee, I'm slightly worried that with the lack of any real feral itemisation past SSC rogues and other pure dps classes are just going to leave me in the dust.

The thing that bothers me is that a couple of months ago when we were working through Gruul/Magth/SSC I was reasonably competitive with dps, particularly prior to the consumables nerf. Which leads me to believe that we simply don't scale nearly as well as other classes.
