At that point optimization wouldn't really help as much in terms of raid DPS and it would fall on the healers stronger DPS at that point and the DPS to meet the required DPS.

Yeah we do the same stuff but we contribute less over all for the same work. I don't really like the idea of contributing less for the same work.

As far as pvp goes. If it's like 10% that's not too big a deal as long as the burst is still decent. If it's a big change like 50% then there'd be no point in having the extra bulk for such little damage with an already lack of CC. Paladin functioned fine before having more DPS since they can stun lock. They weren't really getting the most kills but they could at least support and lead into kills. Warrior can hold someone down with holmgang with or without high damage. Dark Knight however gets a small duration heavy and most likely one opportunity to stun with low blow, neither are really mind blowing CC skills. So by that information if tank DPS does get nerfed down to 50% of what it is , there's really no reason for me to run in as Dark Knight just for the extra health.
