It just annoys me that so many of our players got all pissy because we wiped on H-DW a few times. It's not like that fight is known for being easy.
And yeah, we've been running with a scrubby combat rogue for a month or so now, and he's basically going to forever be relegated to "the new guy" status in my mind until we can get someone to replace him. He doesn't switch targets well and near as I can tell he doesn't interrupt unless you put him in some kinda rotation like on LDW. The target switching thing is the real biggy, and it's most glaringly obvious when we're doing H-Dreamwalker. I'll grant you that I outgear him a bit, but even if I get stuck running half way across the room constantly due to RNG my worst case scenario on that fight is usually in the high 8k DPS range with the same talent build. With Tricks and FoK+CD spam I can practically mop up the maggots single handedly while still auto-attacking something more important. Meanwhile this joker does around 5k-ish on a good day and the side he's meant to watchdog has Archmages cheerfully casting Frostbolt Volley all over the place. WTF.

dps on DW is dumb when they overtake a tank on aggro, after 5 stacks tanks do nothign but get hit, do damage and interrupt, no tps. The whole point of the adds is so you can dps them when you are about to overtake on aggro and all your aggro dumps/MD's are on cd.
It's just idiots tha get killed it seems, or people that stand next to idiots.
Alex C:
Depends a bit on the tank setup. We finally managed to recruit a couple of quality warrior tanks,* so they can handle most of the interrupting now, which lets me play it just like any other melee dps. But back when we had mostly paladin tanks it was a real pain in the ass handling the interrupts while still making sure some dipshit isn't going to train a ghost on my ass in the meantime. That's something of a special case though; rogues are well suited to working around the threat situation on that fight and handling the interrupts full time if the tanks aren't warriors. Between proper use of Tricks, Vanish, and the random Mind Controls we're kinda unique in our ability to actually just sit on Deathwhisper and do what we do. I much prefer just letting the tanks and the mutilate rogue handle it though. Things have smoothed up a lot now that I can go pummel crap out of things with my cooldowns a bit more freely. Well, right up until we wipe again anyway. Fuck LDW.
*I love having warrior tanks again. I can tricks+fok them so as far as I'm concerned they may as well be just as good at AoE tanking as a paladin in many situations, they bring sunders (our dps warriors are notorious slackers on the sunder front), and they can participate in kick rotations. Oh, and we don't wipe because the healers are dumb and were slow to dispel Silence off the tank so he can get the Raging Spirit.
