I realize I haven't gotten into raids so any of the level 60 content yet or whatnot, but after seeing over and over people complaining and asking for pally to be reworked or buffed in some way I'm really curious as to why people think this

The topic seems to be about Alexander Savage mode(i have yet to find any topic about pally being bad outside of this topic, though given I could have missed a thread) and from my understanding the problem is meeting dps checks which makes it so pally gets left out since they don't bring the numbers. Which (again, in my understanding) has more to do with the dps classes not having the necessary gear to do this themselves. Because of this, progression raid teams brought in the tanks that could help the dps meet the check. This led to more and more people taking these proven methods of clearing the content and leaving the paladin out of the loop because of its dps.

So my question is, what is the reason so many people feel disheartened and are asking for a buff/rework when using a strategy used when the party doesn't have the gear necessary?

Or, if my understanding is wrong, at what point does the paladins shortcomings from A. Savage bleed to the 4 man(casual) content?
