DPS vs Damage done

[Shodokan]

In a raid environment DPS > Damage done. Make sure you're looking at Boss DPS as well, and then further by tank and spank VS movement fights. DPS will vary. DPS on trash is laughable, even in raids since it's usually an aoe fest.

As a raid leader, I often never look at damage done and most often focus on DPS. Even as a healer I'm looking at DPS to see where the raid is falling short.

3 Fury warriors in the top 25 on a tank + spank melee fight = Fury warriors DPS is pretty good. (Considering the abundance of rogues)

There are surely ways to get that high DPS. But on tank and spank fights ANYTHING can get top dps if their procs go off correctly (see some boomkin wws etc). But even the best warriors in the world know it highly is based on RNG of their insta slam procs and their ability to keep heroic strike up for every swing depending on how much DPS they get. Mostly they hover between 10 and 12k for the best in the world on tank and spank fights but this can obviously fluctuate as seen above with some doing around 13k etc. Same goes for arcane mages.... if they get tons of lucky procs of missile barrage they are going to get a top WWS as well (not that they need it).

I agree, chart topping DPS can be very proc based.
