If I had to pick one, I would say destruction warlock.

I find there are a couple...Hmm.
Let's see here.
Frost Mage (Deep Freeze equates a massive shatter combos)
As mentioned above: Destruction Warlock: They can constantly sustain burst if allowed to use Conflagrate and also have Soulburn + Soulfire to add on to it.
Fury Warrior: I don't even need to explain why. After you top off on rage, just pop Inner Rage and lolburst someone down. You can use a similar method with Arms Warrior possibly (Deadly Calm lolz).
Could list a few more, but those are what come to mind.

Trouble with all the good answers you will get is that it can all change with the next patch.
If there was one constant answer, the WoW world would be full of them by now :)

The only real burst damage is the Ghostcrawler nerfs T.T
(OT: And since I probably won't be on when it happens, grats Interest on 50k posts, you insane, insane man)

This is a good point. I doubt Warrior burst will survive with the multitude of nerfs coming their way (Inner Fury nerf. Heroic Strike nerf, etc)

how do frost DKs compare with fury warriors? a friend of mine plays fury and we get over competitive sometimes, im curious if i can our burst him lvling my DK, roflpwning him on my prot pally is only fun for so long Xp
Frost has a decent slew of burst, but there's a few reasons I chose not to list it:
1. UH is superior (mainly because it has more opportunities to Necrotic Strike and so on. Also has a nice little stun)
2. Howling Blast is getting nerfed.
3. The burst isn't quite as high for single target as that of other classes listed above.
4. I don't know why, but I find Frost DKs to be a little bit on the squishy side. Meaning your chances of outgunning someone else isn't quite as high.

well necrotic strike is only against healers, im talking pure damage output whats better frost or unholy?
also i thought HB was only getting aoe nerfed? (as it should be, i lose adds to DKs WAAAY too much with trash, they need an agro dropping ability)

If you are getting focused enough to sustain the rage for it, a feral druid in bear form with berserk up for infinite mangle is pretty retarded.

^ This. Anything out of bounds gets nerfed to the ground in short order.
Stop hunting for the LOLOLRECOUNTEPEEN class and start playing the one you enjoy/are good at. If all you care about is topping DPS charts, I weep for anyone that has to group with you.

Are we talking PvE?
As a PvE Frost Mage I usually start most fights doing around 80k DPS. My Deep Freeze has had a max crit of over 308k.
We're talking PvP I think.

Actually, it is quite effective against targets that are slated to be burst down because the healer has to remove the debuff on that target before doing any healing whatsoever to them. Unholy's pure damage output I believe is also superior, though split between a pet and the Death Knight (lol DK Ghouls beating Hunters in duels lol).
1. Can't argue with you there.
2. Only the AoE part of it.
3. Not entirely true. Frost is actually more burst related than unholy mainly because of Killing Machine and Rime. Free crits and free attacks...
4. That's because they sacrifice a bit from the other 2 specs for a bit more 'burst'. Unholy can add more magic damage reduction if they want to, but also frost has a nice AoE 'freeze'.
2. I am aware it's only the AoE part of it. That was mainly what I was referring to due to the fact that not all PvP involves 1 on 1 fighting.
3. I wasn't comparing Frost burst to Unholy burst. I was comparing them to other classes (such as Warrior).
4. Well that and from what I recall Frost doesn't subspec too deep into Blood. Can't be sure though. Also, lack of a good specialized rune regeneration tool hurts self healing and so on.

Heh, nowadays you can only spec as deep as Tier 2, regardless. Haven't seriously touched my DK since Ulduar though.

True, but the only talent Frost would go for there might be maybe Bladed Armor?
