Can Warriors make good DPS instead of Tanks?

Outside of tracking then, what value does a Ranger bring to a raid situation if their DPS is only middle of the road?

Ranger is one of my favorite classes and I plan to reroll one eventually. They get Dual Wield, Double Attack and Kick, and two okay DoT's late game as well (Drones of Doom and Immolate), and the fact that their DPS can match a Monk's is surprising to me, but they still fall short of a Warrior, a class that's seemingly meant more for Tanking than it is for damage output.

Does a Rangers Kick eventually get the ability to stun and interrupt spells like a Warriors?

Solid attack buffs (CoP and SoN is like 65attk)
Decent DPS
Harmony
Thorns on tanks (often druids and mages don’t do this).
Kick doesn’t interrupt spells

Without the best gear, casual stuff rangers are still usually 20-30% under casual monks and Up to 50% under casual rogues.

Still, anything helps. Make friends with an enchanter and help them stay alive when the pet breaks.
