The point is that during PvP you won't, most likely, have time to be dealing damage to your opponents. In fact, you can even become a weight to your party as you can be waking up mobs or just messing with the crowd control.
The ignorance in this post is absolutely mind boggling. The majority of the posts in this thread have been about our role in a party and yes, in pvp you're restricted even more. But do you have any idea the number of different classes spanning the spectrum of different games changed their role entirely from what they were first invisioned? Just because a class is labeled support doesn't mean at all thats what 100% they're doing all the time.

I never said that we're going to compete for damage with another nuker or melee like a true DPS class, just that we have the ability to do so when we have everybody buffed and healed. When a group asks you to tank and you turn them down because you're a dps class, we'll all see how that turns out.
