Debatable.

I can parse 800+ consistently in Halls of Seeing or Lyceum of Abhorrence. Tarinax fights if I'm not in MT group I parse in the top 5 DPS. Xuxliao's Roost I parse 3rd-4th without using my INT end ability.

Realize that as long as a mob is hitting consistently and casting AOE's, we're up there just below or sometimes at the level of Wizards and Rangers.

And in that time you're doing 800dps, every other dps class is doing 1500+, so no...you're not dps, nor should you be concerned about it. If I wanted to see my name at the top of the parser I would just play my warlock. The raid succeeds because I am a coercer.

Chances are if you bring your warlock you wont be anywhere near the top either. If a raid wants DPS they will get competent Assasins, Swashy, Brigs, Conj, or Necros. All can out dps your warlock by a large margin.
