As an SK, I'd love to see Pally's get some love in the field of dps... However, we all need to bear in mind that we are the Tanks... Both Pally's and SK's can be considered the "speedhumps" between the mob and our silk/leather "true" dps friends. When I am the main tank, or the Pally I group with is wanting to be main tank, we are not expected to be dishing out obscene amounts of dps. Hell, my pet even out dps's me when I MT!!
I consider our main role is to hold the agro while the dps burn is happening so the over-zealous wizzy or back-stabbing Rogues don't get one or two rounded and that can be hard to do with the amounts these classes can push out now! If I wanted to be a genuine dps class, I would roll one. But that being said, when it is time for Pallys to do dps (ie when not the MT) then I agree fully that there needs to be more options there for you to do this. How this is to be achieved, is something that I don't really know... but I DO know that I would rather my pally teammate concentrate on holding agro if thats his job (and I do find it hard to gank agro from him unless I seriously try!).
Options for dps increases are rather limited to a few in game functions, these being:
1. Pets - A good pet can increase dps by 400 or more.
2. Swarm pets for burst dps
3. Flurry - easily implemented, after all, we have tribute flurry already available to us
4. DD and DOTS - Make these instacast... I know, it involves a lot of button mashing but, hey, I need to do it all the time already to get decent dps, why not you too??
Keep your minds open to good/new ideas... my "dream" is that us Knights get flurry AA's.
