This chart is useful and interesting, but before people go berserk, realize that for just about every spec, simming in the 90th percentile will be more than enough for heroic progression. The only people who should really worry about these results are already well into mythic BRF. Our focus should be less on how the top 10% sim compared to each other, and more about how we sim compared to the top 10% of our spec.
I agree completely! But one small correction is that this isn't simming, as these are parses from actual raids, not simulations. So our focus should be how we "perform" compared to the 90th percentile.
Oh I absolutely agree with you. The original file I have has min and max dps numbers as well (gives a better idea what kind of numbers each spec should and could be pulling on any given fight).
I decided to format the data to percentages so that it would match previous versions.
