I acknowledged this in the rest of my post.
So then here is the question. What is the game designed around, Raid? PvP? Mythic plus? Delves? World quest? Pet battles?
It makes very little sense for the Dev team to seemingly want all specs within a certain deviation metric in raid and then completely ignore it in other aspects of the game. If nothing else, it would be nice to understand what the design/Balance philosophy is in retail.
