Design Q&A Goes Blue

The Design Q&A thread is a great place to get the ear of Blizzard developers. This week we get some very well thought out questions with Ghostcrawler providing the answers
Dear Crab, Sir. I know your a busy man, but I just wanted to compile a quick thread that hopefully warrants a response from you. I'll make it brief. I tried to compile a thread filled with some questions we've had some answers on, but heard nothing about recently or would like some clarification on. This thread won't focus on any particular class but general design of the game. I think it'll be worth your time to read and hopefully you'll enlighten the community with your thoughts. Question #1: Pure VS Hybrid DPS I think the community as a whole understands and accepts the fact pure DPS classes need to do the most damage due to the inflexibility of their roles. My question is there is a large gap between certain hybrids and their counterparts in other specs. Currently, DK's and Feral cats compete almost, but not quite, with the pure dps classes. In no particular order, priests, moonkins, ret paladins, shamans, warriors lag significantly behind, or, at least currently in 3.1. I know you have taken steps to curb feral DPS, and you have removed some of the "Splash" damage of DK AoE, but is it your intent to bring DKs/Feral cats DOWN to the other hybrids, or bring the other hybrids UP closer to the to their kitty/death knight counterparts?
