Is there someone America-side (whom I can therefore armory) with the level of haste he claims? Am I missing something?

I am not reforged for Raids as I would bring my hit percentage up a few points but Armory me and you will notice I am almost to 20% haste on my player card. With Mind quickening and Darkness that puts me at just under 30% haste currently. I also only have 7.31 hit with this so if I was raiding I would bring that down a bit to around 25-27% and sit at about 5-6% miss chance on 88 boss mobs which on raid dummy I was pulling about 10k+ DPS with that haste/hit set up.

What does it take to go from a 12k dps mage to a 14-15k dps mage?

Dear, Consider. Thank you for this great post.

As for now i am 7/31/3 Frost 1h DPS.

I usually did 11k dps with the gear i currently have. After reading this thread i respecced, glyphed and acctually noticed that i could reforge unusable stats.

But after this i go up and down in DPS, is there anyone out that could take a minute to check my DK and see if i have done anything wrong or if there is anything that i should change?

All help will be really appreciated.

Cheers.

So this thread is essentially pre-lvl 85

So an extra little chance for your first to spells to crit. Not a big forum junkie so this has prolly been spotted already but there ya go.

This has been the case for a very long time. It is definitely worth restating as it is not mentioned in any recent threads - newer players might be unaware of this mechanic and missing out on the extra DPS they can gain from it.

I'm not sure Avalanche should be disregarded. While the direct damage itself doesn't scale, as our gear improves our Mastery will increase, buffing the damage from this enchant (unless I'm mistaken).

I may be asking an obvious question, but since the game has gone through some big changes I thought perhaps the mechanics may have changed from what they were. In regards to combat offhands I see that there are no longer any fast swords maces axes etc at least as far as I've noticed. It is making me question whether or not I should be using a slow oh or a 1.4 dagger. The main reason I even consider it, is because of Main Gauche. What ever insight I could get on the matter would be most helpful.

Any thoughts / advice on this ?

I've seen a couple PVP related questions in this thread and would just like to inform you that this thread is for PVE/Raiding. You should consult the PVP/Rogue thread for questions like this.
That being said, you should spec accordingly to what your group composition is. If your group is more of a Cleave/Zerg kind of group, definitely spec Mut, spec Sub otherwise.

oh ok sorry for asking the questions here then. I though it was any question in general.
I went to the rogue pvp thread. Appears to be locked.

With all the intro CC my lock is involved in at the 85 level dungeons, I'm finding it hard to maintain a steady rotation. I understand that there is alot more "situational" casting now, which I like, but I'm looking for some input on what you seasoned locks are doing with your basic routine.

Typically I've been doing something like this:

Soulburn>SF>Immo>Conflag>BoD>CB>Inc (then it all gets situational)

I use FF to refresh Immo (on the move usually but also when stationary, due to the nature of instant refresh vs cast time by casting Immo again - lets me get back to more damaging spells easier.)

I'm also finding I need to cast Lifetap to get mana back during pretty much every boss fight, despite having replenishment spawning from 2 (I think) of the spells in my rotation: CB and SF. Are other Destro locks out there having issues with going OOM if you don't pay close attention? Or am I using too many unnecessary mana-draining spells in my rotation?

Any help much appreciated.

When i started playing destro i used ff to refresh my immolate even when standing still and only used sf when sb was ready and was stuck @ 13-14k dps.

now i recast immolate and sf in the last second of the 15% haste buff -> major dps increase.

So i start with Soulburn/Volcanic Potion prefight->soul harvest->coe->soul fire instant->immolate->conflagrate->bod+doomguard->corr->cb->inc filler.

Hi, I hear everyone talking about 516 haste soft cap I guess thats the amount needed to hit 5 tick renew raid buffed if you have 3/3 darkness.

In my spec I only have 1/3 darkness so what would be the haste soft cap for me?

Thanks I tried to figure it out myself but sadly I fail at math
