So by this mentality let’s just skip that Vulak weapon upgrade too since “dps is just fine”.

You need to go study diminishing returns. All upgrades technically get worse over time from a returns perspective. Better is still better.
The problem is you think a small DPS boost from 30 STR is going to be significant during the leveling process on a character with 20k worth of twink items. It really isn't, and you would know that if you have leveled a melee character from 1-50 recently. I leveled my monk a few months ago, and he was getting 1 level an hour with 140 STR. That is already great DPS and leveling speed. Even a gnome can easily hit 140+ STR with EC gear, no buffs.

The reality is the mobs you are killing from levels 1-50 or so are not balanced around the idea of every player having 0.5+ ratio weapons and 21%+ worn haste. Spending your points to get a small boost to DPS during the leveling process is a bad tactic if you are already twinked. The 30 STR gets worse every time you level, because you are more likely to max your STR as you gain more levels. You get more money/items, and buff classes get better buffs. STA on the other hand gets better every time you level.

Raids happen fast. There aren’t a million shamans just waiting to buff you. It’s dumb. The more self reliant you become, the better everyone gets over time. Vanq learned this the hard way.
I've buffed in raids for years. It wasn't a problem lol. People got the buffs they needed, and we bagged a lot of targets every week. It's really not hard to add one extra buff to a person.
