It's definitely not as reliable as Wd/S now after the patch. They got a taunt, which they really can't use, and a decent nerf to their heal from charged chop. Wd/S has pretty significant dps, while Wd/D was always just a support class in end game instances, and now, it's even more confused. Wd/R is actually pretty decent now, not really sure about Wd/M and well Wd/W was a beast tank, and now its a pretty beast floor hugger with the enormous drop in pdef. But yeah, Wd/D is a pretty messed up class at endgame, but good for soloing earlier on.
