Bezerker dps?Follow

The topic says it all really, me and my friend are starting to play eq2 together, and he is starting with a healing class, i thought i might take up bezerker as i like to dps, but it would help us both alot to have a tank.....

so as a bezerker i can understand u can tank most instances up untill end-game raiding, this is really my question, is the bezerker dps up to par with say a Scout? or even a mage?

(i have played wow for about a year and a half and im a rogue in there, that class is perfect for me because im competative, i hate healing, and also buffing, i like being #1 on the dps meters =))

i was just wondering weather picking bezerker would be a good idea for a few things, i know ill be able to be usefull to the group and also decent in a me+my friend sinarior as he can heal and i can dps.

So my questions are as follows:
1) Can bezerkers keep up with scout/mage dps in endgame raiding.
2) Would it be easy enough to get in a guild as a zerker for dpsing in raids, as say a scout/mage.
3) In end-game raiding is alot of the dps gear (this is coming from a wow player so ive no idea what its like in eq2 end game raiding) but for example, rings/necks/back/1h weapons, will they be prioritsed to Scouts.


And taking all this information into account am i best just sacking the idea of going bezerker into account and stick with what im going at and go with assasin?

thanks for the imput, i think im just gunna stick with either scout/mage.
