Support dps doesn't mean u re more support than dps, it just meant that you re a dps class with good support skills, because Brd support is too great so it make sense to balance the class out, you can't have a class that has AMAZING DPS and AMAZING UTILITY at a same time, if that apply to brd ull see more than 3 brd in every raid group. Every class has a pro and a con with it, none of them is *perfect* I would say.

I don't think people walk away from brd, it still the fact that BRD still hold the most player based in all servers while MCH is the least that enough said BRD is still a lot fun to play compare to MCH. I seen plenty of Brd that re more than welcome into Alex savage, why? Because it's NOT the class, it's the player that knows how to play the class well.
