I had a 730 revenge crit earlier in kharazan today, my face split into a great big grin when i saw it and i'm sure a lot of the mages in the raid didn't have a clue why i was blathering on about 700 crits being great.

On a side note, i've had a look round and not seen this mentioned anywhere but didn't think it really warranted its own thread so i'm going to put it in here as a 'new warrior' bit:

With the changes to debuff icons specifically the timer on them i've noticed that Devestate doesn't actually refresh the cooldown on the timer for the sunder stack instead it pauses the timer for a couple of moments and seems to push it back a few seconds, or at least this is the impression i get from the debuff timer.

Am i the only one who assumed that 'refresh the sunder stack' would equate to the same as if you were applying a fresh new sunder and would reset the timer? If this isn't some sort of bug to do with the timer and does in fact happen how would it affect the strength of devastate? Building up a 5 stack and loosing it halfway through a boss fight even when applying devastates simply because you don't have the rage/GCD space to spam has happened to me before, and it hurts. I always assumed that i'd had a devastate dodged and had become quite obsessed with watching my yellow damage like a hawk to make sure it landed.

To have to 'top up' the sunder timer every so often by interspersing devastates with sunders would seem like a very strange mechanic indeed and i'm slightly hoping that its just a graphical bug.

On the upside the new debuff timers are great.
