Hi all,

My armory: The World of Warcraft Armory

I am within 2 points of my hit cap by swapping out that cape for the Ruby Drape, fyi, and that's what I use on boss fights. My guild clears Kara and ZA weekly and we've been able to get 3 of the timed chests, and came within 11 minutes of the fourth on our most successful timed run. So we're looking at incremental changes we can make to make up that 11 minutes; our raid leader wants DPSers to be able to scratch 900 DPS if not sustain it.

Prior to this morning, I was 9/40/11 to take advantage of a few points in Clearcasting, but I decided to try the 2/48/11 instead to try to eke out a bit more DPS. I'm a bit nervous about this since we don't run with an spriest, but we'll see how it goes.

On raids, with my old spec and this gearing, I typically run around 600-700 DPS although I have spiked up to about 800 briefly and on rare occasions. But it seems like I should be getting more out of my gear and spec than this. This morning (after respeccing) I was pretty easily hitting 850-930 DPS on Dr. Boom, but I realize that's not really an accurate reflection of what raid boss DPS would be.

Any suggestions? I'm not sure there are too many gear upgrades available to me without getting into 25man content, which we don't do at all. Which leaves me with evaluating my efficiency with consumable and cooldowns, I guess.

:/

Thanks in advance.
