MoP Classic Best DPS Rankings
Take the DPS rankings with a grain of salt. It is based on a combination of old original logs, modern private server logs, and simcraft results specifically during the last patch of Mist of Pandaria. Some specs will be much more powerful early on like Unholy, Arms, Destruction, Frost Mages, Survival, and Elemental. On the other hand, specs like Feral, Fire, Enhance, BM, Fury, and even Affliction will struggle to come online for a bit. This also doesn't account for the DPS increase that Shamans and Warriors bring with Stormlash and Banner.

It was very difficult to find reliable Tank data, but it seems tanks have the most flexibility out of all the roles. Guardian Druids and Protection Warriors are expected to scale very well into the late game, while Protection Paladins will scale well in the midgame thanks to haste.
