More WoW Woes

This WoW Gameplay Discussion (thanks Voodoo Extreme) offers a message from Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Morhaime on the ongoing difficulties being experienced in World of Warcraft, their MMORPG. The update describes why 20 realms had to be taken offline, and how players from the impacted realms will be receiving a total of seven free days added to their subscriptions due to this and another glitch earlier in the week. The update concludes with promises and apologies:
I want to take this opportunity to say that we will do everything possible to ensure that unexpected downtime like this does not occur in the future and that if it is necessary, we will do everything possible to give you better warning and keep you informed. In the future, we will avoid doing maintenance during peak hours, unless no other alternative presents itself. When complications occur that could impact your playing time, we will provide that information as well. We failed to do this last night, and I assure you that we are making changes to ensure that we do a better job of communicating with our players next time.

I want to extend my personal and heartfelt apology for the problems that some of you have been experiencing on our servers. We remain committed to delivering the best possible service for you and will continue to work around the clock to ensure that we provide an experience that you and I have to come to expect from Blizzard games.

Pallies are overpowered in solo PvM.
No other class can do what they do... I personally have a vid of a pally fighting *four* mobs one level below. He kills two, gets another add, then finishes off the remaining three.
No other class can do this.

Pallies are semi-balanaced in solo PvP.
While it's true they will destroy many classes one on one every class is *not* meant to be balanced against every other. Pallies are weak to being kited, mind controled etc. An experienced hunter should have no problem taking down a pally.

Pallies are underpowered in high end groups (PvP or PvM).
Without decent DPS they can't hold aggro and tank. They cannot substitute for a priest due to weak healing. In group PvP the players have no reason to target the Pally till last due to relatively weak heals and low DPS. Auras/seals/blessings are not as good as other classes buffs and do not justify a slot for the Pally in an instance run.

People who do not play pallidins only see their strengths.
People who do play pallidins only see their weaknesses.

FYI My main is a 46 rogue.
