Just hit level 30 on my rogue alt. Slice and dice, blade furry, spamming SS with The Butcher that I bought with my warlock gold, pop a Thistle Tea on top of it, no one is touching me on the charts.
That was the biggest lie ever told by awful private server players.
In T4, BM Hunters were kings as there was no trash plus both 25 mans were a joke, in T5, Arcane Mages outperformed Locks and in T6, Warriors were better if you tailored the Raid around them. TBC ended up being the expansion where the highest amount of misinformation came out from pservers, most people knew nothing and were absolutely clueless.
I remember looking at TBC pserver logs and telling my Guild that there was no way in Hell we were going to bring mfing Balance Druids and their shit DPS just for improved FF like top pserver guilds did and that a Resto Druid could do that, lo and behold, most Guilds ended up doing just that eventually.

If you had glaives. It's like ok so you have the one guy with glaives doing more damage, but we have 4 locks in position 2-5. And like in my guild glaives went to a rogue not a warrior so yeah locks stay winning.
You really didn't need Glaives at all. A T6 geared Warrior with a proper group (i.e with a Feral and an Enhance) already outperformed a Warlock in overall in Black Temple and Sunwell. By the end, most Speedrunning guilds were running the 2 Melee groups with 4 Warriors, 2 Enhances, 2 Ferals and 2 Ret Paladins.
The only advantage Warlock had was that it didn't need any setup aside from the usual Shaman in their group and it was significantly easier to play, so it made sense for most lesser Guilds to run, meanwhile Warriors absolutely needed a Feral and specifically an Enhance in their group to perform and it was harder to pull off.
