If you add the occasional charm (or if I’m not tanking, pretty much all the time), you’re looking at close to another 30-50 dps in 18 second bursts (rarely need to charm more than twice during a battle).

So if in total I’m doing 70-100dps in a typical fight, am I then considered high dps?


'stuce
With epic+L60, the top 4 DPS songs yield ~55/55/56/45 per 6sec, so 35DPS. Add in ~30DPS for melee (high estimate) and you're at 60DPS, ballpark 1/2-2/3 of rog/monk DPS for similar gear. Meanwhile, you aren't playing mana song and you are AoEing so CC is shot to hell, not that you'd have time to twist that song in anyways. Add in the occasional charmed pet at 50DPS (110 (medium-high hit for charm at 60) x (2 swings) / (4 sec per attack) ~ 50DPS), and you are around 90-110DPS. I'd consider that high DPS for an exp group. I'll have to start parsing myself and my charmed pets in exp groups to see how realistic this is.
