Thanks, i didn't even know, you could expand the melee statistics. That clearifies most.

Another thing i notice everytime:
Most enhancement shamans got parried and partially blocked some of their attacks. I always thought, that you could avoid all parries/blocks as long as you stand behind the mob.
So, am i wrong or did they probably stand wrong?

Also be aware that the Axe hides the mongoose enchant. Not sure about the mace but I seem to remember someone saying that it doesn't.

Looks are totally like, 100 dps.

Yeah, I plan to run some more tests, with both more and less passive haste, just need a few more spare hours to do them in.

LOL true. But is the mongoose enchant visual on the mace better than the axe and its own glow visual?

Can anyone parse the information and do some modeling to see which look adds more dps? =)

Looks > DPS =P

Right now, i plan on shooting for a Dragonstrike (working on Dragonmaw, guild is going to start SSC so vortex will soon be readily available) and a OH 2.6 Arena Season 2 Axe. In terms of gearing, it seems that Cyclone set is pretty lacking on the leggings, and the gloves somewhat. So i'm thinking about shooting for the Chest and Helm for the 2 piece set bonus (24/26.4 AP boost personally, varied boost to group). And im just wondering if there are better choices out there for these 2 slots that outweights the set bonus.

The axe does hide it, I cried inside.

I'm not sure where you get that T5 shoulders suck, they do come out as better according to the itemization values in this thread. And additionally, continuing on the curent topic of discussion, they are some of the best looking shoulders in the game.

You're also going to have access to the T5 shoulders as one of your first pieces of the set, so you'll be wearing those over T4 for a while until you get another piece.

I personally wouldn't break the two piece t4 if I wasn't picking up the four piece t5 from getting the shoulders. Too many of the item points were used up on MP5 to make it more than a very marginal upgrade over t4.

Is this true?

(BTW, I was also disappointed to find the Cleaver's glow hides Mongoose as I like the Mongoose glow better, I'd go 2x Pummeler if I could do it over again... anyone able to confirm that Pummeler doesn't hide Mongoose?)

I have to agree that it's not worth breaking T4 2-piece until you can get the T5 helm (assuming you're going from Cyclone Helm + shoulders or chest to Cataclysm helm + something else), since that's the only huge step up as far as DPS stats are concerned. However, I wouldn't say I'd go for four-piece T5 unless I had a real hard-on for mail items; too many of the T5 items are comparable to or worse than other easily available items (Magtheridon gloves, Void Reaver Greaves, Hydross or Karathress chest, Shoulderpads of the Stranger or Mantle of the Tireless Tracker).

I think this screenshot is double mongoose..

Mongoose on Pummeler, wowhead

Do a search, this question was posed 3 pages back.

I think I prefer not having weapons specialization talents. Our suitable weapon choices are restricted enough. Maybe if there was a greater spread of items with the right speeds, WF damage was no longer tied to weapon speed or if we could use swords.

Has anyone considered the libram of rapidity as a possible helm/leg enchant?

It provides 10haste rating (1%).
The current helm enchant being 34atp/16hit and the leg enchant being 40atp/10crit (50/12), i would think that it is not worth putting on legs. But is it viable for helm enchant or not?

If haste rating is calculated as 1haste = 1atp then surely not, but it could provide a cheeky solution for those that are looking to optimize their haste rating.

We have 1 haste rating = 0.9 AEP right now so the AP Enchant would win out on that one.

From the OP:
The proc itself doesn't reset your swing timers. Using the buff to heal does. Wording seems ambiguous to me. Maybe change it to "...using the Invigorated buff...".

Righto changing that now.

I did a quick search of the threat (advisable to do before posting questions =P )

I personally use twist and my group loves it, it has been discussed some in this thread. I haven't seen any conclusive math saying that group dps is higher with twisting, but I haven't seen anyone make the argument that it wouldn't be.

The primary arguments against it were pretty well stated by Malan here.

The mana consumption issue is addressed here.

EDIT: The totem twisting issue is worth of a section in the OP in my opinion. Just a quick list of the pros and cons of doing it. Also mention the possibility of this ability being removed by Blizzard in the future.

Well the foremost argument is that its clearly not intended by the developers since you're only supposed to have on totem per element (and therefore the effect of only one totem) down, and will likely be changed when they see widespread use of it.

This argument really boils down to personal preference though. I didn't see many people not using WF 4/5 when that workaround was still there just because it was a bug.

In a raid melee DPS group, yeah. GoA is probably a 5% DPS increase for each recipient. Your shocks are depending on gear, 10-15% of your DPS. 5% for 5 people > 15% for one person. You can even get away with some shocking if you twist WF1/GoA, which reduces the personal DPS loss.

There's no reason to totem-twist pre-raiding though, unless you find yourself in a 5-man group with 4 melee.

I hate twisting totems. On any fight where I have to do anything interesting it just doesn't seem worth it. Focusing on totems and constantly putting myself on global cooldown means I'm more likely to screw up whatever else I'm supposed to be doing. To me it's worth doing on long, stationary fights where melee just stands there hacking away (Tidewalker, Magtheridon, et al), but I can't see myself totem-twisting on a fight that requires mobility, interrupts, or spot healing.

On a typical fight for me I'm losing about 40k damage sacrificing shocking for totems. This number is going off the average 5 minute fight in BT/Hyjal, so somewhere along the lines of 45 shocks (these numbers are generous, I don't think I ever reach that # of shocks when I don't cycle my totems). 40k/5min = 130 dps, so you wonder if 5 group members getting 88 agi > 130 dps. My groups general make up is Rogue, Rogue, Rogue, Warrior, and myself. I suppose that this is where the confusion comes in, figuring out how to value that added agility. The way I go about it is checking out WWS to see what % of physical attacks make up their damage, divide their "new" DPS by the %, then multiply it by the added crit value of GA. Some rough numbers here, but I'm looking at 35 added dps per rogue (105), 32 dps for the warrior, and 42 dps for myself. 35+35+35+32+42 = 179 dps gain over 130 dps loss, nets you 49 raid dps. It's this level of gear as well, as it improves so will the yields of GA.

Or look at it as rogues get 1 AP per agility, so they get 88 AP and 14 AP = 1% DPS. 88/14 = 6 DPS.
