Most guilds usually gave the first smourne to a warrior or DK. Paladins were usually last.

Because Blizzard figured why the hell not. It's a DK weapon by lore, in the DK expansion. It just so happens that both Warriors and Rets also DPS with two-handed strength weapons.
Look, everyone here complaining about Paladin and how they were kinda 'meh' in retail are just plain haters.
Here's the official end-game numbers from WOTLK retail:
1) Fury Warrior 18107
2) Fire Mage 17799
3) Combat Rogue 17671
4) Retribution Paladin 17213
5) Assassination Rogue 17052

These numbers are inaccurate.
Blood dk for example appears to be one of the lowest dps according to this statistic.
In reality a BiS geared blood dk dealed more dps than Unholy and frost.
Yes, retri palas have received a big nerf, especially in aoe dps, but they are still good dps, if they are properly geared and well played.
Don't forget that blood dk's were able achieve this with a castsequence macro, spamming 2 buttons (deathcoil and the macro) the whole raid.. Good old days :D
Can anyone else confirm that DS hits 3 targets instead of 4, as it should, 3 should be the amount that it heals. And Also Crusader Strike hits for about 80% weapon damage, vs the 93% it should do?
