Hello All, I've just joined the site and also am new to the DW Fury realm. I was Prot spec for the last year since TBC, but recently decided it was time for a change. Anyway, to get to the point.... I am 17/44 DW spec with 5/5 UW and 3/3 Precision. I do not have WM at the moment. I've entered all my dps gear into the spreadsheet for 2.4 from that thread. I must say that despite all the claims of crit and str being > hit, my experience has really shown me different so far. Even with precision and about 110 +hit I was experiencing HUGE strings of misses and being crushed on the dps meters. I use the BT/WW always on CD, and HS with > 50 rage attack rotation. Our guild does not use enhance shaman, so WF is not a possibility for me right now. With the above +hit, 3/3 Precision, 2.1k AP (raid buffed with no BS), and 30.7% crit, I was getting destroyed by the other dps in Karazhan. I do not have hard numbers, but I swapped out some of my items dropping me to around 1.9k AP (raid buffed with no BS) and 29.7% crit, but increased my +hit to 169 and noticed I began to keep up with the other dps from this point. I believe there is a happy medium somewhere that is not accounted for in the equations of the spreadsheet. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, can you give me any tips at what point +hit, you decided to begin re-stacking for crit/str?

I am the first to admit that I am a total NOOB dpser as I've basically always been prot spec. I come here because I believe you guys are mostly knowledgeable and can provide expert advice that I cannot get anywhere else. Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.

Anyway, I cannot link my armory here as I'm at work. O.o But you can look me up and give me recommendations.
