What sort of DPS are you guys doing in a pretty much unsupported group? I usually get chucked in with 3 hunters and the MT. The MT is using commanding shout so no BS, hunters are BM specced so I get Ferocious Inspiration and the like. I'm struggling to break the 1300 dps mark in this group, that seems awfully low to me. What would others in my situation (BT on farm for 5-6 months) be doing in a similar situation? Bare in mind that I'm the only feral in the guild so have no mangle bot either.

It is kind of bothering me now when I have a perfect fight, powerfshifting down to a tee, cycles going so well I sometimes have to shred on 5 CP just to prevent wasting energy, yet at the end of the fight I come out at 1250 or something and the only one lower is the odd shadow priest :crai:. Running with 2xT4 but not the T6 bonus (can't get spinels till 2.4). With Sunwell coming up I really want to justify keeping myself in on fights where I'm purely as DPS (albeit it looks like just the 1 fight, max 2 so far). I want my raid to succeed and I don't know if I can sit in on a fight where I'm not tanking in a progression raid over just bringing another DPS in.

I know LotP is extra MT crit and the hunters gain some benefit from it but I don't really know too much about hunters so don't know what sort of "hidden DPS" to think of as my raid contribution when it comes to these. I can't imagine it being another 700 DPS which is roughly what a rogue would pull if he replacemed me (well maybe not without WF but closer to 500 then).

My DPS gear is average I'd say. As said I have no T6 in my DPS set as its all gemmed with 15 stamina till I can buy some spinels in 2.4. I use malorne shoulders and gloves for the 2 set T4 bonus and the rest is mostly a mix of ZA and BT/MH gear with the odd bad slot (still using hourglass and consortium rep neck).

Am I just being paranoid or is there something I can do to increase this? I'm fairly certain my DPS cycle and powershifting are bang on. The only thing I was considering is that I'm not quite hit capped (around 120 hit) which can from time to time mess up a cycle but it isn't a huge deal.
