I don't argue that, but I don't think that should matter for most people. Unless you're actually optimizing, damage numbers should not matter unless you're in risk of enrage. Beyond that, it's just this circle jerk of an fflogs culture that the raiding community has developed and everyone is concerned with numbers (granted I worry about that stuff, but I enjoy optimizing in raids and being "bleeding edge" so to speak. Not everyone is like me and that's perfectly fine, but if you're not then you shouldn't worry about why "x" class is better than "y").
