WHM DPS needs to stay this high.

(I find the healing requirements on the extreme to be very, very, very low, mostly considering that we were supposed to be healing MORE than before...)

Unfortunately, the wait and see statement fits here. I know people hate it, but it applies. They have already informed us that the difficulty would be at this level prior to the expansion dropping. They wanted to give everyone until 5.1 to get used to the class/battle system changes.
