Zure is spot on, that is the macro I am using on Beta, or you could ask your warriors not to glyph their battle shout. Most seem happy that you will be topping off battle shout with HoW.

Consider, are your flask recomendations still valid ie are the 2 elixirs better than Flask of Titanic Strength?

Should calrify that I have transferred an 85 DK premade, Reforged as much expertise off as I can, and still have 24 expertise, would would leave Elisir of the Naga with a lot of wasted expertise, indicating that 300 str would be more attractive at a certain level of expertise.

Hey sorry i didnt see anything in the posts while i skimmed through over the 2days ive missed of reading EJ
But was just curious if for assassination were still reforging to white hit cap or going with mastery now. last i seen Aldriana was doing some tests with his mate.

No - I do not think this will adversely effect your overall dps

I think right now we have some room to work with as far as exacts go actually myself.

I am at 500 haste with 3 points in Darkness and raiding... I feel it's pretty decent right now. I am having a hard time deciding what is "perfect" right now.

I dare say, nothing is until we get into Cata. To me this time Blizz made the mistake of really revamping us while in the old state of the game. It's as if they put the cart before the horse with us in that respect.

Is the 709 haste number ideal? My theorycrafting math is not working that well atm.

Haste rating to percentage conversion is here:
Cataclysm Healing Priest Theorycrafting

So using Elimbras' % value for haste cap I would think there would be 747.612 rating needed.

I would say the "ideal" haste number would be as close to that as possible, while being just over adding an additional tick to renew. So with 3/3 Darkness and full haste buffs I would think the 710.3 number to be best as disc.

+1
did anyone found the way to see the duration of Sanctuary (if there is no disk) ?

I thought this might also be an up and tested with a marks hunter 5700ish gear score using Greatness was a small dps loss just doing a CS, SS X2, ArcS, SS X2... rotation. This was on a test dummy with no buffs. I suppose with raid buffs it might come out a little different, but testing on a dummy with baseline gear self buffs it was not for me.

A new stable build has yet to be released. With the constant hotfixes going on after the release of such a major patch items are changing on a nearly daily basis. In the mean time you can use the sims from this thread as a guidline as well as the extremely helpful 4.0 Pre-Cataclysm Raiding by Warlocomotif.

I am having a big trouble with TPS right now. In some fights such as LK HM, I found myself always being on 2nd top of TPS, just behind the tank and I had to stop attack to not to pull aggro. Even with 2 hunters kept doing MDs, fury war's threat seems to be higher than before (my peak of TPS was like 25k even I do not have Shadowmourne). The Unholy DK was running the fight with me even pulled more DPS but with much lower TPS than me. Did Blizzard forget that they already removed the talent which gave us subtract 20% TPS (Imp Berserker Stance)?

We haven't yet put out a binary release of the 4.0.1 client.
If you're brave enough you can download the source from the Cataclysm branch with SVN (Source Checkout - simulationcraft - Project Hosting on Google Code for details on how to check out the main trunk. Substitute where necessary for the Cata branch) and build it yourself with VC++ or gcc.

While it's possible we might put out an initial 4.0.1 release soonish we'd really like to get all classes supported and some general infrastructure issues sorted.

How much of a boost to dps is Herbalism's Lifeblood in 4.0.1/Cataclysm? Contemplating dropping it for mining due to the fact I recently got 450 JC but I'm not sure if the fact I will be able to farm my own gems will outweigh the boost Lifeblood would grant.
(Note I haven't played the new patch yet due to personal reasons)

Sorry, very quick test before bed, understandable if it's not enough data, 10 holy wraths. One on the 80 dummy, the 2nd on the 83 and 80.

This is just amazing.

When they finally normalize warrior rage, and it actually seems to be working (they failed on that in the last two expansions and just went back on their tweaking.)

WE mages, now get mana-normalized, and we are screwed.

The circle never ends, there must always be, a Lich King!
