Clara has seen (nearly) every incarnation of the Doctor, and saved every singe one of them. A million times. I think that tops any of Rose's feats, maybe not by far, but still surpassing them. The Tenth Doctor murdered the Racnoss children. And nearly killed himself while during so. That's pretty violent. Well, we know if it weren't for Donna, he would've. But that wasn't because of Rose. Well, you could argue it was, but there isn't much indicating it was. That episode is set literally JUST AFTER the episode he loses Rose. Of course it's because of Rose. The episode even mentions and flashbacks to Rose about million times. The Doctor's full of anger and grief because of losing Rose. The episode couldn't have made that anymore clear. Also take into account that the Doctor has done far worse things in his past. Murdering the Racnoss children was probably a walk in the park emotionally compared to the thoughts of destroying the time war, even though he didn't. Yet he believed he did, making it real to him. The Doctor gave the Racnoss a chance, and he was forced to kill them. The Doctor fought, and killed, and committed a double-genocide of his own race and couldn't save countless worlds from the destructive acts of the Time War. He didn't have time to give the Daleks nor the Time Lords a chance, for obvious reasons.
