This gives you the FEELING that he's very strong while in fact he is not. The other classes, i.e. Shaman, Warlocks and Mages, are just badly balanced with the constant ups and downs of very strong DPS vs. long downtimes. Consider the Druid the best balanced class and best solo class since patch 1.8, and he has set the mark for the other classes. Time for Blizzard to get back to work on the others :)

If the downtime advantage of playing a druid means you kill more mobs in an hour, then the DPS doesn't matter at all; Druids are now stronger.
In fact, I think it's time we started ignoring the "DPS" rate when having a discussion about which class is "better," as "DPS" is a pile of steaming manure for that purpose.
Use DPH instead.
