Yea that exercise was fairly interesting. I think we often just assume everyone is going to cap every stat. Some of us will but a lot of people will not raid for a variety of reasons or it will always be an alt even if 60. Only two of my 60’s have dkp gear and while decently geared are not BiS trophy rooms. If a normally geared char/alt you have to make decisions and sacrifices.
I can see a deep mana pool being handy raiding as each tap for certain targets (or Pally Torp) can help offset an AoE. The longer you last the more dps you can do as a self sufficient player. That said a normal geared smaller SK will have less attack.
In the end hybrids are usually ranked by how they play. You can pull some wacky tricks with enough practice even if your gear is lacking. My vote is always to have fun, practice, and just pick whatever race speaks to you. Whatever you perceive the best, cool looking, or the weird underdog.
