The worse spec in the bracket

It’s “worst of the worst”, not “worse of the worse”, lol. That’s like a kid (presumably) I was in a dungeon run with the other day that literally said, “Pick up the paste” three times before we finally asked what the fuck he was talking about and he goes, “You know, like go faster”...
Anyway.
As mentioned previously, Brewmaster is pretty worthless... tank specs, as a rule, are pretty ass (Prot Pally is okay).
Rogue and Feral aren’t necessarily bad, per se, but there’s just a shit ton of other specs that can outperform them with much less effort, so I guess there’s that.
Fury’s not bad, but it’s a tryhard spec for people that ate too many Pixie Sticks as a child — Arms is just flat out better and is superior for any player with a modicum of understanding about the Warrior class.
Marksmanship is probably the weakest spec in 20s PvP at the moment... garbage tier damage (Aimed Shot needs buffed at LEAST 200%+ to be remotely viable), no way to reduce all damage by 30% for 8 seconds, no way to instantly heal you for 30%, no interrupt, no knockback, no way to freeze an enemy, and no way to keep your target permanently concussed at 50% speed basically make it impossible to do any better than like 0-20 in BGs.

The only problem I have with fire mages are the time taken to cast their primary attack.. It just doesn't make sense.. In dungeons maybe you don't feel the difference.. But in PVP.. You can really chew on the wooden table while waiting for the mage to finish casting

Thanks dude pretty sloppy of me there I edited it out.
I also agree that rogue and feral are not bad just situational and I agree with you on fury being worse then arms.
I didn't want to include tank specs because well...tank specs.
yes MM hunters need some serious buffs from blizzard to even compete.

I don't think mut is that terrible just a situational kinda spec, you can talent into dfa for envenom which ignores armor giving you an actual damaging move every 30 seconds. I figure rogues will just look for saps and envenom into flag carriers/targets your team need dead.
I seriously wonder about that, that being said if someone comes in here proving me wrong on fire mage I would be pretty hyped to see it.

My two builds for Fire Mages:
• Mastery stacking + https://www.wowhead.com/spell=280450/controlled-burn + https://www.wowhead.com/spell=205026/firestarter and heavy focus on hitting Twink Healers.
• Haste stacking + https://www.wowhead.com/spell=203280/world-in-flames + https://www.wowhead.com/spell=2120/flamestrike spam on Epic BGs with heavy stacking (Ex. Ashran).

it can often be a lot of fun just trying to make a "bad" spec as fucking annoying as possible.

I was thinking of a huge mastery build but in bgs since you scale up stats always go down except for primary stats. Also I may just be stupid but does the 100% faster controlled burn even do? like how much faster are we talking here in terms of seconds?

Baseline https://www.wowhead.com/spell=12654/ignite has 9 seconds, so I think the duration gets reduce to 4,5 secs?

First of all, are u talking about BGs? Dungeons and PVEs are completely different.

Fire mage isnt bad per say, just as people stated, it has long duration casts. But with Spells and Critical strikes connecting properly, you will shift the tides of battle. Feels so damn good to insta 3 Pyroblasts in a row.
Maybe Fire mage requires more paitence than Arcane and Frost. Arcane is basically apes spamming Arcane Missiles till the player dies, but Fire needs some mindful gambeling and smart play.

Arcane missles go brrrrr
On a serious note I prefer blast over missiles in most situations with a few exceptions.

I particularly like my first blast with no charges, that 2 second cast for 69 damage really gets me fired up....
I know, I know... "spam explosion first" right? Not from 40 yards tho.
