With the change to the Icy Touch glyph will we still want to use it for the additional dps on the DOT portion or go with another major glyph?

NEW: Glyph of Icy Touch: Instead of granting additional runic power, this glyph now causes Frost Fever to deal 20% additional damage.

Hello.

I'm a fairly new arcane mage and i have 1 thing that is dodging me here in the forums:

What is exactly the point where haste becomes more valuable than SP?

I don't need to provide a number, just the math equations i need to figure it out and i'll do it by myself.

Thanks a lot for your help in advance

What is the hit cap anyway, is it 8% from gear?

Delete. I confused spell hit with melee hit on the profile page

Not.

I see, thank you very much.

IMO, improved execute is easily one of the most useless talents in the fury tree. I rarely get to use execute more than 6-8 times on any given fight. So spending 2 points to save at best 40 rage per fight is a waste. Secondly, over my last 4 raids my executes have crit on average 38% of the time........far lower than any other ability. I sit at 54% crit raid buffed, and every other ability crits +50% of the time. Both slam and HS hit harder than execute does (again, for me), and considering that HS crits ~60% of the time the rage cost is far lower than execute. So sub 20% I continue my normal rotation...spamming HS the entire time and using every BS proc. I still use execute rage permitting, but it is definitely my lowest priority. Granted my low execute crit% could just be really bad RNG, but even if this were the case it still crits for less than HS. I will admit the glyph is pretty decent, but taking up a glyph spot for an ability that is just such a minor component of overall damage is silly.

On another note, I do agree that the T10 4-piece could end up being one of the best we have seen. Fitting 2 slam procs into 2 seconds is going to a significant DPS increase if used intelligently. Even though the proc duration has been increased I think these decreased GCD slams may need to be moved up in priority, though I haven't done any math on this yet.

I don't have high ilvl fast dagger for my muti spec, will 245 ilvl 1.8 dagger be better for OH than 232 ilvl 1.4 dagger?

So lets talk poisons in combat... With the addition to Deadly Poison causing additional procs for mainhand poisons, I think combat is looking at Instant poison on its MH. Rogues who stack armor pen out of its ass might want to look into taking Improved poisons a few points and leaving something behind in relentless strikes. But rogues without high armor pen and rupturless cycles may look into Vile Poisons and using envenom over eviscerate. Combat may turn into a SnD,Rupture,envenom or even just SnD envenom rotation. Either that or they can keep it the same and try it for the best, wounding poisons can still get the extra procs from deadly poison too.

I may get an infraction for this, but I searched the thread, tried to find it, and could not. How would you model t7 2+4pc set bonuses in the new sheets? It goes t10, t8, t9. I'd like to have them, as I am still in T7 and would like to see what good upgrades are compared to my gear level, even if this just means hacking in static ep values or some such.
