Can Frenzied Berserker be staggered or not?

Deathless Frenzy:

At 4th level and higher, a frenzied berserker can scorn death and unconsciousness while in a frenzy. As long as her frenzy continues, she is not treated as disabled at 0 hit points, nor is she treated as dying at -1 to -9 hit points. Even if reduced to -10 hit points or less, she continues to fight normally until her frenzy ends. At that point, the effects of her wounds apply normally if they have not been healed. This ability does not prevent death from massive damage or from spell effects such as slay living or disintegrate.


It looks like "Invincible" when frenzied berserker fights during her deathless frenzy, but look at my DM's question :

- Frenzied Berserker takes 2 subdual damages per round when she is in frenzy.

- In Deathless Frenzy's Description, there aren't any rule explanation about Berserker's condition when she takes enough subdual damage to be staggerd of unconscious.

- "At 4th level and higher, a frenzied berserker can scorn death and unconsciousness while in a frenzy" It is not an exact rule explanation, but just a general description what a deathless frenzy is.

- I think berserker can fight without be staggered or unconsiousness. ("Look! they said 'she continues to fight normally until her frenzy ends'!" )

- but my DM thinks, "Yes. Perhaps she can't be unconsiousness. But is it right 'fight nomally' can be interpreted as 'She contiues to fight without disabled, dying, unconsiousness and staggered'? I don't know. There are any errata or FAQ."


So, Can Frenzied Berserker be staggered or not?

I consider that anything that makes that class more realistic is good. I think that several people have used house rules to the effect that you die when you take damage equal to twice your normal hp. Much more reasonable for a non-magical ability, IMO.
