What DPS classes are considered valuable?

Gameplay Dungeons, Raids and Scenarios
1

For this topic I will refer to mythic dungeons and raids.

We all know the basics like bloodlust, battle res, stealth. But is there anything else besides these things that make certain classes valuable to pick up?

Coming from playing a shaman in BFA, which was a pain in the butt because no one wanted an ele shaman in their party aside from their bloodlust, what can we expect to see are some good pick ups?

I’m searching to play something that is desired as a DPS. My two friends are playing rogue and warlock, what can I be to best utilize that third slot? It sucks because I really do not want to play shaman or mage for the lust. I guess hunter is still up for grabs. idk.

I guess i just need some convincing what would be considered a good idea. Please I do not want to hear “play whatever you find the most fun” I have every single class in the game leveled up for a reason. I am very indecisive and never truly stick to one class unless I see some competitive reason to continue playing it.

As a pug? Probably a fotm class, looking like shadow priest, frost mage and aff lock for raids.
Rogue will be wanted for M+.
You also want 1 monk and 1 DH in raids.

If you’re talking about pugging the answers are actually pretty straightforward:

For dungeons: Rogue, because of shroud
For raids: Warlock, because of summoning stone.

But if your friends are already those specs, then Mage is a good choice that complements both and is desirable in both raids and dungeons for different reasons.

I recall from beta experience that ele sham is doing pretty well. You’re going to see a lot more casters invited to M+ since caster AoE is uncapped. Shadow priest is another solid pick…fort buff, dispersion, good damage, offhealing, shields, life grip.
