I like doing a lot of damage in PVP and PVE.
I will never be lv 70 so don't tell me I should be a class based off of ptw lv 70 BiS characters.

I dont know what game you guys are playing and yes , I have all the classes. GWF will fly through content by a factor of 10-20X FASTER then other classes.. Paladin is great at lower levels but as time marches on, its dps curve flattens and you will find yourself staring at the screen half the time, thinking how nice your gwf was at killing things.
If your going to get a vorp, you will need to get some crit enchants for it. otherwise dont bother.
Invest in some azures/darks and you will be fine
Otherwise go for plague /terror , plague is cheap and frankly one of the better enchants in game.
Btw, you should know GF is not striker, so dont expect high numbers in dungeons. However conq GF deal nice in PvP or solo PvE content.
oh..and trans. enchants
GWF (Swordmaster) easily outshines all DPS classes.
You spend a fraction of the money and time to get the equivalent of any other DPS class. Essentially you get to do the same damage as other BIS classes, at about 1000 less gear score, and then build massively from there.
You get awesome DPS, survivability (compared to the squishes), and you're generally faster to the punch.
You get great feat bonuses and can smash it out even with at-wills.
Compare to, say the design behind a DPS CW (SpellStorm/Thau), where the final 6 of the final 7 highest level powers are complete rubbish (only Disintegrate gets used).
Poor old SWs get by (very nicely!) only with broken exploits.
As a GWF, you are anointed for DPS by the Devs, and others only stay within vague reach using the Lostmauth set actually intended for you (that belt gives you +2 Str/+2 Dex, and other classes forsake their belts and stats to wear it as well).
Right now, "best DPS" isn't too much of an issue as the content is too easy and anyone gets invited along for the run, though There *may* be a class balancing in the future.
If the (sorely needed) harder content does arrive (we're pretty much all waiting out for it), and the classes aren't balanced, you'll *really* want to be a GWF. The non-GWF DPS wannabees are likely to struggle for relevance and party invites.
Guys like me (who only want to play class XXXX as DPS - not GWF ), are probably going to have to go find something else to play.
If you don't play the game to play a particular class/style as DPS, GWF is an absolute no-brainer.
Maybe SW.
The context is fairly obvious, though you appear to be trying to make it about the mental capacity of the class itself, rather than the conclusion about which is the obvious DPS class selection. You enhance contextual ambiguity my leaving out the first part of the sentence you quoted.
I swear there was no intentional pun
