not defending mages, dmg is ridiculous like with most classes.. its just that frost mages have 100% crit when your shattered.
ps not like its exactly hard to play a dk either..
and Meta I wouldn't think so most likely without and in PvE gear with 3-4 stacks of AB debuff, critting 16k on a dummy in my PvE gear and its such an simple spec and tunnel vision that I completely HATE it. sup spam 1 button do 6-8k dps.
