Question reference serpent spread and re-application:

So, with 1/2 or 2/2 serpent spread talent our multishot triggers a serpent sting for 6 or 9 seconds respectively, so for the purposes of easier discussion lets just preseume we have 2/2 and a 9 second serpent sting, with serpent sting ticking every 3 seconds so we will have 3 ticks per application (after 3secs, 6secs and 9secs), now when we refresh the serpent sting with multishot does it start a new dot timer or just refresh the duration but keep the same dot timer.

So my question is, if I fire off a 2nd multishot after 8seconds, which of the following happens?

1) 0 secs (1st application), 3secs tick, 6 secs tick, 8secs (2nd application), 9 secs tick, 12secs tick, 15 secs tick...
2) 0 secs (1st application), 3secs tick, 6 secs tick, 8secs (2nd application), 11 secs tick, 14 secs tick, 17 secs tick...

Now im guessing its option 1 here as thats how the majority of dots work but just want to be 100% sure as the dps difference over a sustained aoe would be quite substantial.

Thanks in advance.

Question about stats

Currently my Haste is 8.86, Hit 7.24, Crit 28.03, Exp 4, and Mastery is 15.99 and my item level is 352. My question is how come when I lower my hit to stack mastery I pull less dps? I know in theory I am suppose to stack Agility first which I have been and Mastery second but my dps still goes down for some reason even with keeping all bleeds up. I pull about 12K on Raid Boss dummy with just MOTW and I was just wondering also if thats very low for my item level and if you guys could suggest anything to improve my dps.

Thank You

There's also the matter of Corruption.

Intellect is your most useful stat and there is no cap for it. It outweights all your other stats, so always prioritize it. Make sure you enchant and gem for int if you can help it and only then care about your other stats.

Only exception for this rule (taken from the guide):

When to ignore the socket bonus

As a general rule of thumb if the socket bonus is less than 20 Int, or 30 of any rating stat, then it would be better to ignore the bonus and gem [Brilliant Inferno Ruby]. However, to be more accurate you would need to find the relevant scale factors for your individual gear setup (Using Simulationcraft or the Warlock Spreadsheet) and multiply those scale factors by the stats you would gain with either gem.

about strength of the panther

The 4pc t11 buff are there any addons out atm that will track it? Any buff/debuff timers that may include it or do you just have to use a buff addon and track it the old fashion way?

Speccing for OwN & BD vs SE & CA

Hello, I've been doing a bit of light reading on hunters for my alt, and in relation to speccing, I'm at an impasse.
From what I've simcrafted in 346 ilvl heroic gear with a few pieces of 359 crafteds and DMC:H
It looks like 3/3 OwN & 2/3 Bestial Discipline is beating out Sic'Em and Careful Aim on a 5 minute fight with movement. (Like Omnitorn)
Anyone else have numbers to confirm or can give me some input?

Are those Trinket values actually correct? I feel you may have not calculated them correctly and that the new Unheeded Warning should be near the top.

Although you should not bother about this, because your guild has some other problems if you can't manage to bring down two mobs at the same speed, the window of opportunity is quite big because there is a 2-3 second window between the two standing still,wiping dots, yelling something and finally porting up. Spamming is actually contraproductive because it is A: luck dependant and B: your reaction time should be better than a GCD and if you hit the BoH right before Dot-removal you wont make it.
After all this is not benefiting at all and should not be recomended because if you do this BoH will not double dip from 8% magic damage taken increased, atleast not if you dont have another lock using CoE on him right before he despawns.

During Bloodlust/Heroism/Time Warp is it better to spam hard casted Pyroblast only or stick with the normal rotation?

DoT mechanics question: is a dot's crit % updated between ticks, or is it only updated when the dot is refreshed (or reapplied)? I know that both haste and spell damage update only on refresh, but still unsure about crit.
