Honestly, the DPS vs DPM consideration relies intirely on the encounter, and your regen in raids.

Keeping in mind here that my gear is somewhat decent, I always have a shadow priest, and BoW available. I also use stopcasting to shave milliseconds off my LB casts, thus spending slightly more mana.

On the majority of fights, I find myself hard pressed to get rid of my mana. How mana efficient my spell rotation might be seems pointless when I am seemingly never in any danger of going oom.

With that in mind, I would love to find out whether just spamming LB, or CL/LB rotation, or FS/LB rotation, or FS/CL/LB rotation will most increase my dps.
- Assuming again this is in a raid situation with all the appropriate debuffs on the boss, CoE, CoS, Scorch, Misery etc, and that I have my totems and flasks/pots on.
My own rather primitive attempts at calculating this seems to indicate that using FS every 12 secs is more dmg then just spamming LB in the same cast window.


Threat is mostly a non-issue on static fights, even with Stormstrike goodness.
