What I have a problem with is shadow priests being better against all forms of enemies, and especially in the all-important single-target category. That isn't combined power; a minmaxing raid leader will bring another shadow priest. And it will happen.
As my guild was foraging through Naxx pre-2.0, when warlock and hunter damage was poor, we'd regularly purge nearly all the locks and hunters out of the raid on DPS check bosses, replacing with rogues, DPS warriors or mages. It's what we needed to do to get the kill. I am under no illusions that this kind of thing will disappear.

I understand your points, Skan. However, I would prefer that Blizzard not adjust classes too much just because of what some min-maxing raid leader does. I hope you can understand that side of it. Critical Mass has done some neat things, and some of you are really cool people, but, CM doesn't represent a large percentage of WoW players, do you? I don't really think Blizz is done adjusting stuff. They just hotfixed the warlock imp, for example. It'll take 3-6 months for it all to shake out, I'm sure.
