If I truly only saw everything in terms of speed and DPS efficiency etc, please explain why I've stuck with raiding as WHM for entirety of this tier so far?
Here's a hint:
It's because I found it significantly more enjoyable to play than AST up until 4.1.
It's not about DPS at all actually, it's about your apparent obsession with dressing up clunky little situational abilities as the greatest thing that nobody knows about, except you.
