Those are the 15 buggiest OP dps totals from different builds throughout the beta. If you examine the parses you linked, the DKs are either doing fine or not performing optimally. For example, in the first one you linked where the DK did 3494 dps, Sugargiggles is unholy, but managed all of 3 Scourge Strikes over 3 minutes.

The only thing I see there that's remotely alarming is that hunters can do too much damage, which Blizzard has already said. And why shouldn't druids be doing dps on par? That's just a silly remark.

If the DKs here run raids, do everything exactly right, and consistently underperform, then I'll be concerned.

Druids can heal/tank/dps, once we get the talent swap on the fly function, expect their to be less of a reason to bring a DK and more of a reason to take Druids, this is of course is excluding the other classes we haven't talked about and what their capable of with "spec on the fly" functions.

I'm not saying DKs wont' be raiding, I'm sure a lot of you are probably in "friends first, friends are the best! - Guilds" or the "lets at least gear one out and see if they scale/get buffed or use it for it's anti-magic zone and other neat gimmicks, too" but I don't think you'd be on this forum if you weren't the least bit curious as to what is ultimately the absolute best way to min/max something.

Again, show me some DK parses where their doing everything right, you also neglected to mention Arms Warrior dps, frostfire mages, and even mutilate rogues and enhance shaman, has Blizzard stated that all these classes are bugged too or are going to get a nerfing? Also, source would be nice when you say "Blizz said".
