You are complaining. End of story.

Original Post:

I've been a long time reader of posts relating to anything to do with warriors. Very recently I have switched my spec to arms and have seen, like many others, that until we reach the cusp of Ulduar gear we usually find ourselves neck to neck with Fury warriors (with a few exceptions of course). However, it seems that we also almost always tend to see our DPS near or at the bottom of the damage/DPS meters in high end raiding guilds. I absolutely love my warrior, and have been trying everything possible to improve my output. I originally sought to post about my recent discovery of simply switching my spec from a typical arms to a typical fury spec, and adding a decent off hand weapon and seeing my DPS (in Landsouls spreadsheet) go up by over 100 points. Yet, I now see how little that matters when the highest end gear for DPS warriors only puts out 6-7k, while every other melee class can surpass that, I wonder when Blizzard is, if ever, going to bring the DPS warrior back into an important role in raids. Currently I do on average of about 6k in Ulduar as arms. However I was rejected from one of the top guilds on my server, simply because they can only afford to have one DPS warrior in their guild; and even then, I see him sitting on certain fights which require incredibly heavy DPS. Why? Why is it that we cannot even have a fair chance with other melee classes? I'm looking forward to see what kind of an effect the upcoming changes will have on our class as DPS and hope that people can share what they feel about this seemingly unfair disadvantage that our particular melee class is currently in. Again, I understand the forum rules. I'm not complaining so much as asking others to argue my observations. I want someone to prove me wrong, so I have some hope at the end of the tunnel in respect to my warrior.
