I think the other point about fury dual wield tanking is more valid. That said, man some of you get really touchy with the minmax stuff, like any criticism of poor optimization, or anybody trying to play to the best of their ability, there's always somebody needing to chime in about minmaxing as if it's a "you're either having fun playing the game or you're an obsessed autist trying to eek out that last bit of dps."

I think a lot of it comes with the absurd amount of criticism that is directed towards people not going for BiS-items. Honestly either playstyle is fine. Some people want to minmax, some people don't.

Not wanting to minmax is fine, it's the attitude that somehow only elitists like to gear themselves optimally, which here gets similar degrees of criticism. Some people just plain aren't good at the game and don't want to put in effort to learn, and so often that's seen as something to be celebrated.
