Here is my fury war: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/turalyon/Nïbïru/advanced but recently got 2ea Hammer of Naaru ( http://www.wowhead.com/item=28800/hammer-of-the-naaru ) with 6 +10 Strength gems in them... lots of options, wouldn't pay attention to the enchants/talents/glyphs, that's up to you and this char is rather outdated.

You don't seem to know how gearing for PvE works in WoD.
You just get the highest ilvl in every slot and that's the end of it. Items like http://www.wowhead.com/item=86579/bottled-tornado are BiS.

Seeing as his gear is completely wrong for PvE, I can see why you'd think MM was the best. Sure, they're good, but far from the best.
Explanation linked a couple posts up in case you're wondering what is considered good gear for PvE.

Apparently I was misunderstood, and rightfully so.
My experience in 70 PvE was from a very specific point of view. Our guild <scripted pvp> on Dalaran and Sodapoppin's guild <How WoW Should Be> cleared all of BC content as a 10 man group with very specific rules, similar to the ones here: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/14821632784 (though adjusted for Burning Crusade).
With these restrictions on gear, hunter was consistently top DPS.

Even strictly using TBC gear you can easily reach ~156 ilvl and it wouldn't change the fact that melees > hunters.
The hunter you linked is only ilvl 139 so obviously you didn't have access to all the TBC gear. It's likely that the differences in dps you experienced during your raids was caused by differences in gear more so than class balance or anything else.
Anyway, the op asked which class to roll for big numbers in 70 pve, not which class would do the best damage in some weird pretend TBC guild with poorly geared characters.
The answer is that melee dps outperforms everything else, with classes like feral, dk, enh and ww being at the very top.

I don't know why you continue to be toxic @Onlydreams.

You continue giving me lip for no reason. I don't get it. You're not going to impress me. Until I see concrete proof that melee > hunters, then I really see no reason to believe you. Post some recounts.

@bigmoran It's common knowledge to everyone who has ever pve'd at 70 without gear restrictions. If OP wants recounts to prove that what me and Fx are saying is true, then he can ask for them. I don't see any reason for the distrust though...
The hunter you linked is objectively poorly geared for PvE. I didn't say that to offend you, and I apologize if you found it "toxic".
To add to the topic, I just remembered that shamans have access to to the Dark Shaman Set through the black market. I bet enh does more damage than ferals with that gear. Haven't seen it personally though.

Bigmoran, thats a pretty nice hunter for what it was used for. But keep in mind I'm seeking the best possible dps to be had, in lfds at level 70. The only restriction is my gold/patience.
I initially considered hunter before this thread, but I realized do to the nature of lfds, having a cast bar of any kind (Aimed shot) would be detrimental to what I'm trying to accomplish, as the mobs die too quickly. For raids, sure, But im really looking for upfront burst without any kind of buildup, and minimal downtime.
I do appreciate all the input and advice, especially considering how frivolous of a concept this is.
Now for more questions! Out of the aforementioned classes, I found ww to have far too much build up to get to actual big numbers, which is really too bad because I have one sitting at 67 already.
Fury warriors are lots of fun, but the lack of any movement abilities makes them kind of bad... when the group is miles ahead of you, stuff is dying long before I can start doing damage.
DK is slightly faster do to UHP, but I believe they require a bit of build-up as well, correct?
How is enhancement without dark shamans?
As much as I loathe to level another druid (I have a 10,29,85,100 druid line up) This might actually be the answer for me. Either that or pick another bracket for this little project, which I wouldn't mind some input on as well... how is 91-99 as far as damage potential anyway?

It's much more likely that the reason he topped damage was because his gear was better than the other dps' players.
But when we talk about the highest dps, we're talking about 11-13k dps. And calling someone elitist for pointing out that gear restricted info isn't helpfull in a thread like this is strange to say the least.
