This will be a cross-post in most of the class-specific subforums, sorry if it's wrong place to ask, but didn't find better.
I'm planning to organize pugs for 25-man raids (OS, VoA and possibly Nax) on regular basis and I would like to know stats of your friendly next door DK (dps) that can be useful in a raid. I don't want to be elitist, so let's say the person has already started doing heroics and some 10-man raids, but doesn't have the best gear he can get from it per slot. What stats should I expect from such DK?

But since you haven't done any research on your own before you ask people for help, you have no idea what you are even talking about. Since I'm a nice guy, I'll answer your questions so you can continue to avoid figuring anything out yourself.
The Defense cap is, indeed 540. The expertise dodge softcap is 6.5%. The expertise parry hardcap is around 15%. The melee special hit cap is 8%. The spell hit cap is 17%. The Dodge cap is around 88%, the Parry cap is around 42%, but you would need an infinite dodge and parry rating to get to the cap, as Diminishing Returns make the cap asymptotic.
The caps you are expected to reach before tanking any raid content are: the Defense Cap.
The caps you should be expected to reach coming out of Naxx25 are: the Expertise Dodge softcap, the Melee Hit cap.

Thank you. My apologies for breaking the rules.

i want to start raiding
I have a mage i have been tinkering with forever now, and am approaching 80. I have never really instanced with her but did do one the other night. My dps was poor (lvl 78 and 763 dps) and would like to know where to start looking to help build my mage? Most of the threads and posts go way beyond where I am at and after a bit have me more confused than ever. Currently I am specced fire and have been exclusively which I'm sure isn't helping my cause.

Nevertheless they very often experience some troubles with recasting roots on their own marked sparks. So they use different ranks of Roots: 6th, 7th and 8th. (no trink procs and SP increase this time)
Can anybody say something about it ? Or say how you hold 4-5 sparks in one point.

I see, nobody knows about this problem ((( Druids do not have any trinkets procing on SP. And there was troubles with roots recasting.
Done "Heroic: You Don't Have An Eternity" on good luck last week  Get 2 DKs and 4 Druids for this achievment.

Hello , I just wanted to comment on thi ice bound fortitude and bone armor nerfs.I know sometimes it seems DK's are op (and mayby they are)but wasnt that supposed to be the point of a heroic class i mean come on.If they get too nerfed i just dont see the point in heroic being there.nerf one but not the other.I think it is too much at once personally.

I've also noticed you're way over the hitcap, and can probably rethink some of your chants//gems. The hit softcap is 227, so lets round up and say 230. The reason for this is that you've got yourself the opportunity for a friendly neighborhood space cow (thank gods for alliance eh?). The 1% there, plus the 3% from IFF//Misery and the last 4% from BoP is 8%. Include your 9% from ~230 hit and you've reached 17%. You're sitting at 319 hit. You can certainly drop 40-50 hit rating and be almost guaranteed to be above the hitcap.

Thank you... I'll modify all things following your advice...
To Do:
- change 3 talents point from Dreamstate to Improved Faire Fire
- reduce spell haste (done)
- reduce hit rating from 319 to 240
- increase critical hit
Tonight we'll try Military WIng (normal)... i'll take this raid as test.
Thank you so much...
To add some info about this thread... and to confirm that my actual build is not good for a dps:
yesterday i've done HoL with a good party. All OK except my dps... 1600!!! Not good... I haven't drink any mana potions, no mana issues, but my DPS is become terrible. Probably I've to do something "in the middle"

I'm basically wondering whether the grasscutter is better than the omen of ruin for a hunter. Like, how much armor percentage does ArP take off per rating point? I have looked on all of the wiki. I think its the grasscutter.
Thanks!

I am making the switch from 50/21 bm to survival and want to make sure my understanding of the optimal survival spec/geming/rotation/pet/etc is correct to insure optimal dps.
1: spec: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
is this close to what I am looking at for the cookie cutter max dps surv spec
2: gem/ench
agi > ap?
3: pet: raptor > cat?
Pet Calculator - Wowhead
4: shot rotation
Explosive Shot > Kill Shot > Serpent Sting > Aimed Shot > Steady Shot
no arcane shot?
5: macro
anyone have one?
thanks in advance.

All right, I apologize, I have the wrong word in my mind for it. But grammatically speaking, "gets worst" isn't correct either for my misunderstood meaning. It would have to be "becomes worst" or "gets to be the worst" for it to truly make sense for it to become lowest-value.

With patch today this is now implemented, Sounds good... But personally i feel Like the melee range requirement is holding it back.
Any thoughts?
