I have been lurking a long time and finally took the time to register here.
The question I have is how do you quantify "good" dps. I use "totaldamage" addon which give me my numbers, but what do I compare it with to determine if I have a good or adequate amount of dps?
I am lvl 70 and am demon specced, currently have 880 bonus damage thanks in part to the "greatsword of horrid dreams."
The reason I ask is because I was thrown out of a pug running shadow lab the other day when the leader said my dps was not up to par. This was with a group that wiped repeatedly on the first boss :-O. I have been with groups that have had trouble in shadow lab before, but never been with a group (till yesterday) that could not make it past the first boss (I obviously dont think I was to blame for the trouble we had there).
BTW the very next day I ran Shadow lab with a group and we made it to the end without problem. I rolled for the "greatsword of horrid dreams" against a pally and won :-)
I am rushing to write this message cause I have to go off to work so sorry if I my thoughts are a little scattered.
