    Stamina DPS in general are often denied for trials. They have to gimp their own damage to reach pen cap (or close to it) unless the raid group is specifically set up for it. Things like Tremorscale and Alkosh/Crimson won't be present unless it's a stam group. So stam dps in a mag group have to work around this with things like sharpened front bar, sets with pen lines, and/or Kra'gh/light armor.

    Agree with that. Also, in next patch when crit dmg creep would be somewhat limited maybe we will see more places for stam users, because with medium armour they can easily reach crit dmg cap in group, daggers & bows compensate for missing crit chance from armour, with new sets like Crimson Oath you can easily drop pen even more than before, soooo... Stamina could focus purely on dmg and oh boy, with base value for dual & 2h + medium armour bonus + Minor Brutality from DK tank, they could pull some nice numbers ;)
