My pally in his ret offspec (535) can just barely break 100k on a dummy 
on a good day. This is a massive improvement from the 25k or so he got 
before I went to some effort to gear him, and switched from wow-heroes' 
suggested configuration to icy-vein's.

My afflock just dinged 45 (halfway!). In instances, he shines on bosses
where the fight is long enough to dot them up, and when there are many tightly
packed mobs for Rain of Fire. In those circumstances he's either top or second
dps. He sucks if there are 2-3 mobs that have to be switched between, or one
which dies so fast the dots don't have time.

He's still in hierlooms plus drops/quest rewards only. He's moving ahead fast,
and I see no need to waste gold on stuff that will be outdated in a couple 
hours of play.

It's amazing how fast he's moving now compared to when I was leveling my main
through the same zones in BC. Also, most instances at this level are completed
in under 30 minutes, compared to hours the first time around. I'm not finding
long waits either, at this level.
