    With a lot of melee gear, the warrior will do very well.
    Not sure how much constitutes "a lot".
    For a lot of raid content (in various expansions), the DPS warrior has been top or near the top on DPS.
    Had one in Tier 5/6, which was always behind the warlocks, but ahead of everyone else.
    Have one, who through Naxx25/Ulduar25 was top, every raid he played - but guild kind of fell apart, so not sure if that would have continued in ToC/ICC25's.
    If you stick with the warrior, it should really improve; not sure another toon wouldn't be easier though.

    A few questions...
    The Druid is going cat and not bear to DPS, correct?
    Are either the druid or rogue attempting to be behind the mob?
    What are they using, as far as abilities?
    EverQuest I: Bard / Enchanter / Druid / Wizard / 2x Magician.
    Diablo III: 4x Crusader & 4x Wizard.

    Whenever I can, I always position melee behind the target. Of course, the rogue is sword spec so he doesn't have to worry about backstab. The druid does not have shred in her rotation, and I wouldn't want to deal with her being incorrectly positioned, and having shred hold up one of the castsequences (unless this can be worked around? I use castsequences and /click).

    The rogue does a 2 combo point slice n dice, then does a 3 combo point eviscerate, rinse and repeat. The druid starts out with rake, then tiger fury, then builds up a 5 combo point ferocious bite with mangle. rake is always put up after cooldown, and tiger's fury as well.

    The warrior simply spams bloodthirst, and keeps rend up. He also will do overpower if it's available.

    I changed the warrior to use a 2h, and his dps went from 180 to 350, but I really like dualwielding....I like the warrior because his macros were so easy to set up, did it first try. The only thing I need to figure out is how to only apply battleshout when it's not up, I basically loaded his battle shout cast with max commas so he doesn't waste a rotation so often.

    If anyone could offer tips, that would be nice. I'd say I have the least experience with feral druids and warriors.

    *edit* After more testing and tweaking, I squeezed 850 dps out of the rogue, and about 760 on the druid. Still weird how the druid has such a large AP advantage, not to mention 5 levels, yet falls behind on dps. She also has a 29% crit rate, where the rogue has a 19%.

    The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
    And the circling is worth it,
    Finding beauty in the
    dissonance
