Eh this is far too narrow minded.

For 32k HP dragons, yea you're probably right. But that's 2 of 21 expansions.

When Knight off tanks become more crucial to trash clears, events where you must split your raid force, events where you are forced to kite or off tank mobs etc. Having SKs becomes a lot more valuable. Most of the time I was raiding during 54-man raids, 3-4 SKs was ideal. Which was typical. The only class that regularly you wanted to see exceed 4 was Bard and Cleric (depending on balance of Druids at the time). Everything else you wanted about 3-4 of on your raid.

But if you want to take that approach you can say that about a ton of things. Magicians during most of their life raiding. Necromancers until their DPS becomes baller in PoP. Enchanters when you don't need CC. Druids pre-CHs. Rangers pre-WS. Etc.
