Zerker endgame relevance

How do zerkers experience this patch at endgame hard modes? I didn't like last patch because the need for iframes didn't allow me to use ES offensively. The low dps numbers with high effort to survive made it unrewarding. (Writer's note: I think a dps has no right to loot if he did less than 20% of the party's total dps)
How is your zerker dps in sshm/dfhm compared to relevant dps classes like ninja and gunner (assuming players who are as geared and skilled as you)? Are there any moments where you died due to lack of iframes (ie having to iframe again within the 6s roll cd)? How bad is damage bleeding through block in +12?
It's been five days since new hard modes are out and there are zero recordings of NA berserker clears on teradps, while even sorcs and archers are up there.

    For me, not very well. But that's not going to stop me from trying to get better. What's really annoying is learning and remembering what I can block and what I can't. I'll keep practicing rolling though, as well as using some of my other offensive skills as mobility skills instead.

    I haven't had any issues keeping up with dps in most parties, and as far as iframes go, now that I have roll I haven't had any issues iframing anything.

    It probably just has a somewhat harsh learning curve nowadays.

    I was more interested in hearing specifics, like party dps % of a skilled +15 zerker compared to a skilled +15 ninja/gunner. Is there anything about the survivability that you find lacking or annoying in specific situations in hm dungeons.

    SSHM is pretty bad for zerks, mostly cause of the running and killing mobs, if you have a party thats good at killing mobs fast then its not too bad since you can DPS somewhat freely during cage. I havent cleared SSH on zerk cause its geared in half +12 lucid and +12 sf which is pretty brutal in SSHM (30-40k bleed through block). Last patch was actually much better for zerker in terms of ease of play so if you struggled last patch I would definitely advise against maining zerk for SSHM.
