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.
