4k was NOT low for 80 normals, especially at the beginning of the expansion...you people are nuts if you believe that.
In Naxxgear back in 3.0 with 2x Ilv213 weapons I did a consistent 4.5k DPS on raidbosses.
Once I had my dual betrayers I did 4k+ overal DPS in heroics.
In ulduar I did 4k DPS in Nax25 gear(Ilv213'ish) single target as ARMS ffs.
I managed 5k DPS on my first Ulduar25 bos with the same gear consistent.
So in general, 4k was low in WotlK. And I'm not good. A "good" DPS barely exists. You got the ones doing their job and the ones that don't.

When I jumped on my tank and tanked 1 heroic today all 3 dps were doing 4.2k dps on the first boss in Blackrock... I mean sure runing away takes a bit of that dps away but my god 3 dps with less than 4.2k dps the boss wasn't even at half health by the end of the first wipe. or the 2nd 3rd or 4th. I ended up kicking the guy at 3k dps and just telling the others that they can leave or leave because I wasn't pulling while they were in the group unless they could pull 6k dps. None of them did. Whats bad is there was a mage a Warrior and a survival hunter dps 3 of the great DPSers right there and they did nothing. The group fell appart but I didn't wipe again after the 4th one.
(issue was that the healer was going oom after 7 minutes of fight time.

if you know what you are doing , you should get 7k easy in questing blues and greens @ 85 . Heck i could do that at 80 with t8....

If you can't hit 5 digits on bosses, you're terrible at the game and I'll probably votekick you.

Either you've failed to read it properly or you haven't played that early. I mean few weeks after it came out, just like it is now.
In Naxxgear back in 3.0 with 2x Ilv213 weapons I did a consistent 4.5k DPS on raidbosses.
Clearly I didn't play since the beginning alright...

It is not asking too much, for some reason however in norm non heroic cata dungeons i was pulling 4-5k, yet in same gear on heroic i was doing more dps 6-8k, but anyway, imo 4k is so low, on my DK who is still level 80 because i hate him, he pulls 9k with only 2 pieces of T10 and 1 item from ICC. My mage which is the toon i talked about previously, is now doing around 8k with a piece or two of heroic gear.

In the early days of WotLK puuling 1.6k in normals was fine and 2k for heroics was what was expected. It could be easily done if one had selected there gear correctly (and spec).
no one was doing 4k DPS in the early days of WotLK - if you have stated this you have a very short memory or have some special friends you play with that no one else can see...
At this level 81-85 - overall DPS is not going up much at all after the initial 81-82 level items being equiped. What most people fail to realise is that as you go up levels you need more (A LOT MORE) crit and hit to stay in status quo - a leveling character very well may not do a lot of DPS especially at 84 / fresh 85, this is normal.
I am playing both a lock, warrior, pally and shaman at 82-85 and in sub 85 players it is rare to see someone doing more than 6k DPS, is this a problem? not at all, as long as you're in a normal - gearing for a heroic.
4k DPS in a WotLK normal at the start of the expansion, that made me laugh.

Back on our subject, when running a level 81-85 NORMAL instance, the dpsers shouldnt be pulling anything less than 5 k in trash and 4 k in bosses (its higher in trash cos of aoe helping and not a lot of movement involved when compared to some bosses). As for cata heroix the minimum should be 9 k in trash and 8 k in bosses... kinda offtopic but the fact i can output 7 k dps as tank in bosses and 16 k in trash.... what does that say about dps standards in heroix? (prot warr)

My Mage does about 14k dps on bosses, at level 81. 83 now, doing 15.5k dps. Trash... not so good, 7-9k single target (3 or less mobs), or 8-10k (4+ mobs). Granted, most bosses at that level don't require too much movement or target switching. If I had to move a lot, my dps would probably be around 9-10k.
Hate when tanks and healers talk crap when the tank does more dps on trash. As long as we do our jobs and get through the pull unscathed, without taking forever, we're good.
