I don't think I have ever seen any information about whether putting a trinket into a slot resets it's INTERNAL cooldown. (It certainly works for on-activation cooldowns.)

Test it for yourself. You probably don't need to go so far as to exchange your trinket, you can just pop it out & then in again, start your meter, and beat on a dummy for a while. I'd be curious about the effect as well.

Yeap i am aware of that.
Thanks.

I cannot figure out why my dps is so low at my item level i had a good grasp of wotl but cata has me so turned around my warlock is the worst dps in every encounter on every boss in every raid . . .

if you can help i would greatly appreciate anythign you can offer.
profuse thanks

I do top damage/DPS on most if not all of our attempts/kills on 10/25, mainly from just switching my LB key with CL and using Fire Nova, a lot. Helps kill the oozes and makes you look good.

I have been scouring various sites looking for more insight into my hunter. I am consistently lower on dps than other hunters in my guild, even though I have better gear. In fact, last night, while fighting Ultraxion (25-man, non-lfr), I was ranking about 17th, below our tank.

I compared myself to the other hunters and found that just about everyone uses MM, while I have been using SV. The tank, also our raid leader, warned that I would be booted from raids unless I brought my dps up. It's frustrating and aggravating, knowing that I have the gear to produce the needed dps, but appear impotent to do so.

Today, I have spent several HOURS going over my spec and my shot rotations, seeing if there is something I've been missing. All the web sites, as well as other hunters, say I'm doing it right, but my dps isn't coming up. Therefore, I changed my alt spec to MM and compared the two to see if I could bring my dps up.

I have been very confused in figuring out the best shot rotation for MM. I have read several posts on this site, as well as from a few other sites. There is a lot of conflicting information about what is best. Some say to use the non-proc Aimed Shot as much as possible as a focus dump, while others say only use it when it procs.

As a result, I am uncertain as to what I should do. I've tried both specs numerous times today (against the Raider's Training Dummy) and have found that I get just slightly lower dps in SV than I do in MM (perhaps 1.5k). I ran both specs through the dps analyzer in this thread and found that it suggests that SV should be about 1.5k HIGHER than MM. Either way, my dps is very closely matching the predicted dps.

So how do I explain that the other MM hunters are pulling 4-6k more dps than me? I'm terribly confused. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to it. I need help desperately.

Here's a link to my hunter in the Armory: Lonesome of Bonechewer. Please note that I have nearly 17k AP, 1696 haste (28.31% SV, 16.64% MM), 29.98% crit, 12.22 mastery. I have 3 pieces of t13 gear, and an ilvl of 383.

The raid finder version of Wrath of Unchaining seems bugged.
It has too little points, and gives way too much DPS.

/wave sent you a PM with relevent info. If you want to chat send a holla at codylaeder@gmail.com

I hope this is temporary, i enjoyed the EG videos. You are too much of an asset buddy, im sure you wont be idle long. I see this too often with good guilds. Ill gladly ask my friends on different servers if they are in need. On a side note, im sure everyone has seen, by now, that the "leaving 1 eye up" strat on hc zonozz has been fixed.

does anybody have any reliable information comparing

with
[Gurthalak, Voice of the Deeps]
at patchwerk style encounter, which of those will end up with better numbers and whats average -+diffrence

WoW-Codex: [4.3] Assassination Rogue DPS Guide

Thanks Ristoril. I wasn't aware there were any problems there.

Also... I figured out why my dps on Ultraxxion was so low. (Yes, this is a sidenote.) During Fading Light, I was jumping out every time, not just when I had the debuff. So now, I will pay more attention to that. I thought that if dbm was showing me a timer for Fading Light, I had to get out.

I'm such an idiot.
