My own particular guild has 1 or 0 DKs in every raid. We understand the value of DKs, we just can't find good players to fill that role as often as we'd like. Because I am one of the more competent people in our raid, I get the task of controlling the rogue. I do this as frost and the rogue is continuously snared or CC'd throughout the fight. The rogue is particularly problematic because of shadow step and cloak of shadows so a sheep/fear rotation goes to shit very quickly if he uses CloS or SS out of range. Ideally we would have 4x DKs that could just deathgrip all of the FC melee but we simply don't have that type of raid.

DPS meters on faction champs are a joke and saying that mages are missing some opportunity to be top 5 on that particular fight is missing the entire point of that particular fight. Between sheep, frost nova, snares, and counterspell; mages have an important role on Faction Champs and DPS isn't always a part of that role.

There are a million different strategies for Faction Champs and all of them are equally viable so as long as the raid is successful.
