Ok. Reasearch hAs turned up a lot of claims of seriously conflag crit damage nerfage. Roughly 50% less dmg from crits. ( 14k to 7k ).

Per some simulation craft results it seems it's possible to get slightly more DPS from affliction now so that may be a way to get up to the top. Although if the bulk of your damage was coming from conflag crits - it may be something your just going to have to live with.

Making a clean post on the official forums asking why a hybrid class is out dpsing a pure dps class might get some attention. But it might get shaman nerfed too. Lol
