For the most part you were being subjective, so I didn't really care about the topic. But when you misquoted both FFLogs and my personal stance, I had to step in.

FFLogs itself refutes the first claim of DRK being underpowered in DPS, in pretty much every percentile bracket. If you are considering logs for dungeons, there isn't any point in looking at them - no one actively competes in dungeons and many people play defensively.

At the moment, Dark Knight is in the lead in all of our respective theory sheetwork. If you got any information from The Balance, you are clearly misrepresenting the work we have done since the patch has released.

Now that I've stated our record of fact, now I'll dissect your post.

Your ideas for every ability revolves around the idea of an AoE powerhouse. I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that we need any work in this matter. Having Syphon cleave, Abyssal doing 2.2x its damage, (more coming)
Hello Emiin!

I would like to quote myself really quick

This is not saying the Balance endorsed my post, I am saying I used your tools and FFLogs to come to my respective changes for DRK.

I also would like to restate something I stated at the beginning of my original post:

Dark Knight as of patch 4.4 has nothing inherently wrong in it's defensive options or DPS for raiding. Analyzing deeply shows that it can perform well enough at a high level to be useful and that it will not cause a group to meet enrage simply by it's presence in a party, nor is it currently unable to survive tank busters of the current tier. Far from it in fact, I believe Dark Knight is very strong defensively.
I have never stated DRK's single target DPS was subpar. In fact I pointed out that aside from AoE it's DPS is actually quite fine right now. It is not going to cause enrages or wipes at all, nor did I ever say that.
