I'm curious to know, has anyone tried comparing Bristleblitz to the Illidan bow by any chance on Brutallus?

The reason is; we are dropping MH soon and I am wondering whether the illidan bow is just as viable for the 2K dps required. 15 Archi kills and still no Bristleblitz....

On another note - I have recently gathered a 4 set T6 bonus and I have found that although +80 passive haste is recommended for a decent Heavy Steady rotation with a 3.0 second bow, it does seem to work fine with less.

Using only the Badge Chest (for example) to give only +25 haste (2.57 Drawspeed) works a pretty nice 2:1 (using Manito's macro). Useful until you get the Felspine, Cloak of Fiends etc.

I tried the shortcut of using the Badge Bow with 0 haste to get under the 2.5 sec drawspeed. It defies logic but it does consistently less DPS than the Serpent Spine bow and 25 haste - using Manito's again.

I heard somewhere that Steady Shot gives more DPS with slower bows - is this correct? If it is that might explain the difference.
