Comparing war to bard is disingenuous and on top of this top end bard range for high skill players is almost 200 dps higher than top end warriors. Even without disembowel a good bard will out dps a good warrior or at least be on par with them. You are also loading the comparison in using an absolutely OP dps tank against a Utility DPS. If you were getting beat out by pallys and drks you'd maybe have a more relevant argument but considering the average output of players in this game, a good war can out dps 90% of the current dps player base.
