ret only needed 70% to catch a bis warrior in AQ phase according to WoWhead articles from 2020
Arms needs over 120% to catch the top lol
also the thing to consider, is vanilla has a lot of playtime outside of raid. Fury warrior is in last place relative to other classes WITH worldbuffs and 0 armor targets. Out in the world, you dont have world buffs, or 0 armor targets, and you didnt get a fast way to apply sunders unlike rogues and priests. Youre literally 1/3rd or less of any other class outside of raid.
This is a huge problem. I played Ele in wotlk and while I trailed off at the end of ICC dps wise because of movement I was still a very strong class. Great on standing fights and the best in Arena for many seasons. Its okay to have tradeoffs. Warrior doesnt have trade offs right now. Its just the worst at everything. Sometimes by a little (raid with world buffs and 0 armor targets) or by astronomical proportions (outside of raid, questing, pvp, etc)
