I appreciate that you're looking into this. I'm not sure if there are different versions of OO that can handle it different as well.

The spreadsheet version it's working in is 1.1.3, not sure if that was the latest version before you remade the sheet. but I guess the link to that version should still be in the old thread. If you can't find it I can probably post the script (or upload the sheet again). From what I can tell, that script is just a recorded macro (adding +1 to each of the stats, str/crit/agi/hit/AP and checking the output damage).

Have you actually tried to look around in the thread before asking? There is a bug in the latest test version of the sheet with expertise (1% per expertise is used instead of 0.25% for gear and racial expertise). A fix was posted some pages ago.

Hm.

Thx for the Info anyways.

I'd like to request that the sheet be updated to reflect the effects of a few talents in the Protection tree. Specifically, Vitality, One-Handed Weapon Specialization, Devastate, and the earlier mentioned Defiance expertise change in 2.3.2. Focused Rage would be helpful also, though it seems like that would be a more expansive change. None of the others seem like they would be particularly difficult to factor into the spreadsheet's equations, but I'd rather not fool around with them myself.

Protection warriors aren't by any means DPS machines, but when wearing DPS gear and using Devastate/WW "cycles" they can do non-trivial DPS. As an off-tank of a guild just breaking into Hyjal/BT, I'm working on setting up some DPS gear for the many fights that don't need me. Most of the gear selection is fairly intuitive, but I would be interested in a bit more of a quantitative look at various itemization optionss given the above talents. In the end, it might not make much impact on the raid, but it is still good for personal interest.

I would really like to have a SEP makro that works in OO. It should contain all the basic stuff I need.

Short: Yes.

This sheet covers real DPS specs. You don't DPS with a Prot spec or very rarely and just for fun.
Protip: Collect money in the guild bank for respecs.

While I understand why you might not want to put in the work required to expand the spreadsheet to include prot talents your responses are just rude and downright foolish.

Prot is not a DPS spec that much everyone can agree on. But that does not mean that prot warriors should not have a spare set that they can use on fights where they are not tanking. Sure if its progression content then they should probably respec but just because something isnt progression doesnt mean that as an individual you shouldnt strive to perform.
A spreadsheet (an extended version of yours or someone elses) would help prot warriors decide on what kind of itemization they should get in order to perform all their tasks as well as possible.

I modified the spreadsheet and put in my gear and provided results for this earlier in this thread. Basically the gear should be almost the same as dual wield fury gear - so you don't really need to mod the spreadsheet to compare. The difference between 17/44 and 13/5/43 (3 points in deep wounds) went from 1450 to 1200 DPS for my gear with a 6 dev/1 WW cycle.

Nothing stopping you, or someone else, to make one. Personally, I like keeping tanking and dps theorycrafting apart as much as possible since it just gets muddled in-between.

Plus, it's easy to spec and re-spec as needed.

When I switch from 17/44, to 0/46/15 and put the 6 expertise in the sheet, I gain DPS. I'm not sure what gear lvl this occurs at, as I have only have Kara and below gear as of yet. Food for thought.
