You try to use a raid parse, with 2 casts of Cry Havoc and a Glyph of Destruction as proof?
Plus, comparing against pure dot casting classes that will likely not be picked up on the parse all the time due to range issues from the parser if they are moving, and knowing that pet procs by the necro pets arent picked up by others parsing, only your own? I mean, I will give your necros the benefit of the doubt here, otherwise they severely lack - if they have identical conditions as the druid, they should be close to 4k dps, definitely at least 3.5k. And what of your wizards? Again, with 2 cry havocs and if they expended a Glyph too, they should be 4-5k dps. The druid was less than half that.
Don't mislead people here with half information. Using a raid parse has alot of variables, not just the ones listed above but also questions like who had bards, enchanters in their group? That can skew things greatly too. This is the same kind of rumor- and fear-mongering that goes on the Sony boards, with half-truths and invalid comparisons.
It's easy to throw out random comparisons that have no meaning. I did 3K DPS in a pickup Fabled Hydrotha raid, with no Cry of Havoc, no Glyph used, no 7th vet used, no bard, no shammy, no enchanter, and the MT wouldnt allow my water pet into backstab position because he wanted to side pin the mob. Thats almost double what your druid there did, with 2 Cry's and a Glyph. So again, I could provide a similarly misleading comparison that druid DPS is less than half that of a mage.
WoV members, take note, I love my druid. The class is incredibly flexible - a jack of all trades, but a master of none. Its awesome when you can quickly switch from DPS mode to healing and save the day. They can buff, debuff, crowd control, DPS, heal, solo, group, you name it. Just don't be misled into thinking a druid will be a top-tier DPS class, because they sacrifice that in order to have the wide variety of abilities. Likewise, they will never out-heal a comparable cleric, but they can do some incredible healing feats when played well anyways. Alley, Fenhoff and Gealaen are all examples of great druids who can do some amazing things with the class, so if you want to play a druid, please do so and love it. DPS is not always the end-all goal of this game.
Accurate comparisons require identical situations, and parsing by each individual box. Only then can you get apples to apples comparison. No quite sure why you would expect your whining to be accepted here, take it to the sony forums, you will find that more your style.
