Uhhh ... my level 40 paladin does more than 30 dps on dark blue mobs with 34% haste belt and 30% haste buff quickness and a cheap 30/35 velious claidhmore. Buffless (126 base str) it’s still a consistent 18-25.
We’ll see how he does in his 50s but I’m expecting it to be around 50 sustained in the high 50s with a proper 50-60+ % haste buff, higher skill caps and upward-scaling dmg bonus. Don’t get me wrong ... 50dps is not stellar but as I’ve already said it is far from non-contributory for a class that’s designed to get beat on.
For knights this is all highly content specific. DPS potential on xp group trash is not the same as dps potential on high ac and or high level raid mobs. With lower skill caps knights in particular are going to suffer disproportionately more than other melee.
