So you're telling me..

Im genuinely curious about this part, is this normal?

yes and it allways will be, but wow would look exactly the same if mythic was 10 man, it's just the nature of aiming for the top, of course you will take the best even if its only marginally better than the rest. imagine losing out on the world first race because the other group took the dps that deals 1% more damage.
