title says it all... wanting to play pve on a toon

80? 85? what kind of content are you looking to do?
title does not say enough ^^

IDK what class has the highest burst but you cant go wrong with any str class with a sunlute. There are a few bis pallies, warriors, and dks on my server (sargeras) with upgraded sunlutes and pre 5.2 I saw one pally burst for well over 300k in FL. But with the nerfs to how stats, enchants, & gems scale down @ 85 I highly doubt any 85 twink can burst much higher than 100k now.

85 frost can burst at ~150k from what I've seen, rogues at about the same, and hunters/ret should be a bit lower. Unsure about casters as I don't run DS with any ;D

 

[inoobupro]

warlocks have the best caster burst irrc, with mages just a little behind

Currently on my 85 rogue I can hit up 225k to 250K burst, before the scaling I hit 400K starting with my dagger wings and every proc up with pre pot. Going to say I think rogue at 85 is probably the highest sustained dps in pve when compairing BiS. That is unless someone else thinks otherwise, I haven't seen every class or someone perform better at any other class personally.

Assassination, also seen some rets burst higher but fall back down into a 90K sustained with lute.

Do you have an armory link? I've not done a huge amount of fully buffed raiding on mine, but even my sims are at like 50% of that number with daggers.
