Warrior prot DPS

I have done some fairly vague testing of this on our last KZ run and I must say this seems indeed interesting. Will test more tonight and hopefully with some really nice results.

In the meantime, discuss!

Prot DPS in a raid is quite ok if you wear glass cannon DW gear. Devastate spam adds decent DPS and Executes are better than those from Arms Warriors. It's not good enough for pure DPS races or a pure DPS roll, but that is quite logical.

The problem lies more in solo abilities.

I fear this might be shitheaped, but I guess something good could come out of this.

Proper gear, (extreme) potion usage and some skill can almost make up for being prot specialized.
One of our MTs has been 2nd on damage meters on an Aran kill, with his 8/5/48 spec.

Also I found this on google: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...78439938870348

I got the same result (2nd on damage) with the same spec (8/5/48). I don't think it's a coincidence. First was a fury warrior, maybe Aran just favors warriors. Devastate made up for about 45% of my damage. It is really a huge damage boost for protection spec.

OP: Terrible way to start a topic.

Also, Aran is not a good fight to compare DPS at all. He's atypical with quite low armor.

No. (This is filler because I, too, cannot make posts of <4 characters.)
