That's a class balance problem, not a ranged/melee problem though. There are melee and ranged classes both that are very far behind on the overall balance scale (I play a ret paladin, so I know how...

The issues are WAY overblown at the moment for the majority of guilds, and even the OP's source has been hotfixed.

Magmaw is a wash... ranged have to move occasionally. melee really free DPS the...

Should also be noted that when at 3 HP or with a HoL proc, the roational priority switches a little bit. It's better to burn the TV to allow for a potential HoL proc or HP proc in the long run.

However it has NEVER worked out that way, ever.

They have long since done away with this philosophy.

Don't get me wrong, EJ used to be great. I contributed quite a bit there and even had a section in the original tanking compendium. The intelligence of the tanking community just seems to have...

First and foremost, fury warriors are perfectly fine in the grand scheme of things. In overall WoL reporting they are about 87% of the DPS of the top performers. The classes from the 3rd slot (ass...

Elitist jerks is populated by a lot of pretentious idiots with no grasp on the realities of in-game content anymore. Their moderators are overbearing and self-important, their guides are generally...

I would expect this will be changed in about 2-3 weeks.

Old, but still applicable.
It's very very easy to use hit gems as melee at 85, especially with reforging. Drop hit pieces and gem hit and you will have the same stats with an active meta.

The prevailing and generally right way of thought in tank gearing is that when almost equal, go with the stat that provides constant benefit. Armor will always be useful in a physical damage...

Tank life scaled rapidly and thus their base vengeance AP scaled rapidly as well. All forms of DPS went drastically in the other direction. This will even out with time, as will the lack of any sort...

Well that's just silly. With the changes to IBF and other tanking cooldowns Blizzard will balance raid and heroic encounters around longer tank cooldowns. The only difference is instead of Soul...

Fallen Crusader is actually decent for trivial content for the DPS, heal, and TPS too, especially in the multitude of situations where dying simply isn't possible. I use it every fight except HLK.

It really just depends on your available weapons. Howling Blast is so powerful for most encounters now that 2H frost or DW frost equally perform at an almost overpowered capacity.

You can't. The pet abilities mimic the player abilities, anything a player can't purge or dispel a pet won't be able to either.

With DXE or DBM updated timers you should be able to hit every 1st and 3rd breath in the primary phases. If you are lucky enough to have a Sindras Fang you can use that on the second breath and full...

I'd love to see how.

Do you have an armory link to your DK?
It could easily be minor gearing / spec issues.

You get, at maximum, one haste debuff from Sindragosa if you properly use AMS. The same can be said of Festergut, with the only possible debuffin occurring when your Gastric stack is high enough to...

Well right now it's a mixture of total gear availability, encounter variability, and good DPS / lack of mana issues. If you don't know how an encounter will play out, Stamina is still a better stack...

Nothing changes about stat priority in ICC. Stamina is your best friend, armor is your second best friend, and avoidance is that kid you hang out with if stamina and armor are busy.

Exactly what I did.
I didn't has many threat issues in ICC though (compared to 5 mans), Vengeance is seemingly overtuned and I was Shield Of Righteousness critting for 40-75K.

How is that a personal attack? I was merely stating that while a 30% loss doesn't seem bad in current terms (where tanks can do 20K+ threat without much sweat in ICC), in Cataclysm threat, at least...

I didn't respond to you that I am aware of?
