Following your flawed sample size argument, are you trying to convince us that only during your burst and FC damage did you spike to the top of the parse, but only momentarily (the small or short duration sample size) but by the end of the fight showing the complete parse you always were down 4th maybe 5th on the parse? This would back up your statement that warlocks really weren't overpowered. You think that everyone is only looking at the short duration parse (not true)

If this was the case, then maybe I could agree that warlocks really weren't overpowered. You think warlocks only parse well on short duration fights? But you fail to explain why on longer fights your still mostly the top dps mage on the parse at the end of the fight. Even long duration raid fights, good warlocks are still the top mages on the parse by far.

You can take any sample size you want and the warlock still beats most, if not all mages, and needed some reduction. Sorcerers specialty is aoe power, I agree that no other mage class should beat you guys on an aoe fight, and no mages do.
But I also believe you should lose on a single target fight to summoner classes, you can't have everything and be best at both fights. And since warlocks were even winning on most single target fights, this showed that warlocks were indeed overpowered.
If warlocks do everything best and all fights are their specialty, why bother playing and who's going to play the other dps classes? This is the exact reason why any overpowered class ruins the game for all the other players, and must be balanced. Or is it your opinion that, summoners should have no specialty, since summoners don't have huge sustainable aoe power all that's left to make us useful is single target.
So make some room here, don't be greedy or selfish thinking that your class should get everything, we all need to share some of the spotlight and all feel good about our classes roll. Your warlock will always rule the aoe fight, even in the new xpac that nerf is not as devastating as you think, your class specialty AoE is still intact.
