Theoretical charts exist in WoW and they give a great example of how certain class specializations do against each other in certain fight mechanics. That's pretty much how I view the Maple charts. Obviously the charts are based on "No Movement + interruption" fights, and obviously DPS will vary greatly depending on how much movement / interruption there is in the fight itself (Empress Cygnus and Magnus are good examples of this).
When Joe gives the "Use XYZ with A, B, C, D, E, and F", I see them as "Damage Rotations" for optimal DPS. Yes, not everyone will have perfect play, but it's something to strive / aim for at least.
Plus, with Joe just updating the Warrior charts, I, and probably everyone else, would have NEVER guessed that Demon Slash is better than Demon Impact, for optimal DPS, when you have 100% PDR Ignore.
