You lose half a white attack every time you swap idols. The biggest problem you've probably got is group composition. Getting an EnhSham is *huge*. As you get near the end of the game, being grouped with 3 BM hunters starts to catch up to being grouped with an EnhSham and a dpswarr, but it still doesn't quite make it.

I believe I said the macro I posted was good for most stuff EXCEPT raid DPS. I also said swapping weapons and idols resets your swing timer. And that I would do testing to try to swap the idol smartly by checking Quartz's swing timer.
Still, the idol swap is great, as I said, if you're in not in a pure-dps situation. It also can be used for other things, like safety swapping to a dps weapon when going Cat, and a tank weapon when going Bear.
Additionally, idol swapping as Resto or Boomkin works great with no penalties.
