We talk a lot about identifying and exploiting classes with a high skill cap, or what classes, with excellent play, can pull off amazing, broken numbers. But I was thinking about the reverse question:

Let's say you're a mediocre player; somewhere in the 35-50th percentile range. If your goal is to just not get completely wrecked by the other better players while playing your class's most competitive DPS spec, what would you pick? (Maybe because you have friends in a somewhat competitive guild, and you want to contribute and raid with them, but don't have the time or skill to actually perform really well.)

The answer is clearly not shadow priest. :) Probably something without a lot of abilities and a forgiving rotation. But what? BM hunter would have been my guess, but I'm only looking at the most competitive spec for each class. I'm thinking it might be MM hunter or enh shaman?

Thoughts?

(Note: Not wondering about absolute DPS numbers, more about the ratio between the DPS a mediocre player and a great player would do, given the same gear.)
