When both geared for dps, in offensive stance and with full offensive AP, zerker dps > shadowknight dps in solo, group and raid. Suvivability wise shadowknight > zerker due to lifetap, evac and FD.

QFE - that is the trade-off. I feel our class defining ability is group mobs DPS in a plate tank wrapper. We do not get any "neat" class abilities like FD or evac or a heal. What we do get is the ability to do MAJOR DPS to multiple encounters.

A recent update change removed the number of encounters that can be engage from 5 mobs before. What this means it that we can hit unlimited (within reason) encounters with our AEO spells and taunts. Makes for good fun with Rampage/destruction ond open wounds on.
