I use grid/gridstatuslifebloom. F1-F3 and 1-4 are my healing spells and or debuffs; each has a macro which allows me to press alt and use whichever spell on mouse roll over... Using grid, I've found this to be rather efficient. I keep the tank, or weaker tank, targeted, and heal with Alt for the rest of the raid/party.

Is it worth noting that Flametounge increases spell damage which would increase your Earth Shock and Lightning Bolt damage making Flametounge even more viable?

Thanks, I didn't even scroll right, so I couldn't see it.

I want one O-o

Currently my guild is raiding Naxx and OS. In Naxx, at tops my DPS was hitting 1900-2100. In OS on Sath, I had 1700. I am very concerned with my DPS, as I have heard it should be in the near 4k's. I'm following the spec and rotation that I have been told is best 5s/5r/5e using WP/WP .... I don't understand why my DPS is failing so much. Anyone have any idea? Am I missing something? Here is my Armory: The World of Warcraft Armory

I've played a rogue since the days of MC and always read about the class, watched videos, theorycrafted, lurked EJ, used spreadsheets, and my DPS was always within my expected range. I've outdpsed far better geared rogues in the past and topped MH+ Charts so while I may not be a top top rogue from the world, I'm definitely not mediocre.

Yet since WOTLK, I've noticed something awful with Combat DPS. My DPS as Combat was around 2100-2400 at best too, and my gear was slightly better than yours (I had Greed for example). Since I switched to Mutilate, my DPS changed to 3200-3500. My Global Raid DPS was slightly higher than 2400 as Combat because of BF-FoK-KS-FoK and God knows there's so much AoE in Naxx, but even though I performed all rotations correctly and adapted to situations as fast as possible, I could not get past 2400.

I still feel however I'm doing something wrong. There are fights when I'm fully buffed that I can at best keep up 3000 DPS as Mutilate while mages skyrocket to 3900-4000. I never let SnD or HfB drop and try to keep Rupture up all the time, but I can't help but feel that there's something not right.

A couple quick things to check. First of all, are you specced properly, that is, no Deadly Brew/Quick Recovery/etc? Second, are you using Envenom as your 3rd finisher of choice? Is Instant Poison on your fast weapon, and are you main handing it? Are you doing your finishers based on a 4+ regimen or are you only doing 5cp finishers (the latter of which is wrong)?

Don't put too much stock in individual fights. Caster will crush me on Noth/Patchwerk or even Loatheb at times. I get back at them on KT/Maexxna/Faerlina, I think. It all goes back and forth at times. Use the spreadsheet and plug in your gear and applicable buffs, and from there see if you match up with it on, say, Patchwerk.

Besides all that, go back and read through the first couple pages of most of the threads on this sub-forum.

I am having the same problem. My gear is like this, The World of Warcraft Armory. My spec is 7/51/13. Im using the 5n/5r/5e. When I have a fury warrior doin 4-7k dps on fights, and the other dps in the 3-6k, my damage isnt cutting it. Im getting anywhere from 2.8k-3.6 depending on the fight. Im not even getting in the top 10 in dps. Is it just raid dps is just that good or am I doin something wrong? Am I going to have to go mutilate to produce for the guild or wait til my grp gets more crit to go HaT? Any info will help.

two rounds I thought there were 3!

Some very useful inof here. Thanks guys

Any evidence for this (you tube vids)?
