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.

In short. Fury warriors don't do much dps (compared to other classes) but they do lots of damage. Even one of the best warriors in the world (arrarat or blood legion) doesn't even top DPS meters.

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