Hey everyone,
This is my first post of the elitistjerks.com forums. I spent hours and hours reading the information on this site about my class for a while now and I really believe it has helped my play style tremendously.

My guild's first Illidan kill 3/17/2008. Needless to say, we haven't been farming ALL of the t6 content for quite as long as some other guilds but we were very eager to get into sunwell when it came out and we've had our struggles and triumphs. Last week we had our first set of real Brutallus attempts. Prior to this we were just playing around with him after Kalecgos kills (I'm not really sure our healers and tanks were ready for the amount of damage this boss can put out). They were all wipes and showed us nothing about our dps limits since no one was blowing all their consumables and bloodlust simply because the healers hadnt figured out how to keep the tanks alive.

Recently we saw our first enrage and put out ~9.4 mil raid damage. WWS report can be seen here.

What I'm trying to ask with this post is how I can increase my personal dps through gear/gem choices and ability rotation. I'll give you a rough outline of what I did for this specific attempt. When our hunter counted down his Misdirect pull, I used Demonslaying Elixir, Drums of Battle, Blood Fury and a Haste Potion. After Brutallus started moving towards the tank, I put out Tranquil Air Totem, Mana Spring, Strength of Earth, Searing Totem. By the time I got to Brutallus I started auto attacking. I waited for my global cooldown to wear off then started my dps rotation with flame shock, Storm Strike, Earth Shock. Then I did flame shock, storm strike, twist wf/goa totem macro, earth shock repeat, repeat, repeat while using my consumables when they come up.

Comments about my WWS, I recently upgraded my berzerkers call with a DST so in my buffs section it shows 3 Call of the Berzerker buffs. I only got 3 drum buffs because no one in my group has LW ( I think this is full of fail but I've been talking with our group and they are currently leveling it.)

Basically what I'm asking is... tear me apart.

PS. If this post is in the wrong section or not appropriate from this thread it should be removed.

THANKS
