Big Thanks to Tymir for all the updates! He's been keeping on top of it. Lately I am just a host of the file! ;)

Current Version: 0.9.4 (14 May 2008)
Excel: http://www.altoholic.com/wow/spreads...Calculator.xls
Open Office: No support at this time.

Previous three versions: 0.9.3, 0.9.2, 0.9.1

Features:

1. Gear Selection
2. Talent Selection
3. Buffs & Consumables
4. Spell Rotation Priority Settings
5. and more...

Note:
If there's a bug with an item having the incorrect stats, etc, check the list below and PM me or post in this thread about it if it isn't listed!

Try keeping this thread focused on the spreadsheet development, or issues related to calculations, etc.
Other areas of discussion are usually better suited in another thread.

Planned Updates:
None.

Known Issues:

The spell simulation is getting thrown out of whack when changing spell priorities.
To use the Skull of Gul'dan turn on iterative calculation and turn maximum iterations to 1.
There's some bug in between Shadow damage and regular damage. Orb of the Soul Eater is shown as a huge dps decrease over Khagdar's Knapsack, which is impossible.
All races use Starshards. (Should auto turn off when not selecting Night Elf.)
When I have 6.59% spell hit in gear and 5/5 Shadow Focus, it lists 1 hit rating as a .03 DPS increase. It should be zero, I'm already over the hit cap (but who knows, that could be Starshards).
The crit % on Final Results doesn't match my character sheet.

Blessing of Wisdom isn't in the list of buffs.

1 Haste rating should be added to the list of Effect of Stat Increases.

I don't plan on including a 1 haste rating section until a wait system is introduced, without one it has the potential to be very misleading. Thanks for the other two points though.

Sorry I was out of town on vacation but I am back now. I have updated the main thread and posted the latest version by Tymir. Tymir I have merged my changes into yours so make sure you grab the latest from my site before extending it again. :)

0.9.4 by Helinut

* Formatting changes
* Fixed error with Battle Elixirs
* Changed Season 2 Set bonus to follow the function of the rest of the Season Set bonuses
* Added missing ranks of Starshards
* Added Symbol of Hope
* Modified Inner Focus to prioritize Devouring Plague over Shadow Word: Pain if DP is being used. Also changed it to check that IF will be ready on the current simulation step rather than the one before it as it was only casting it on every other DP due to the original behaviour

Every time I change a piece of gear (even changing something like cloak enchant which shouldn't affect DPS) there seems to be a random fluctuation of the "total DPS" number. As much as +/- 50 DPS, although normally it just seems to drop by ~1-3 DPS. Is this due to a randomization factor in the simulator? It just seems to make the spreadsheet not very helpful for most gear decisions, especially very close ones, when there's always a +/-50 DPS margin of error due to randomization.

Is this actually what's going on? Or is it a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

For best results make sure iterative calculations are enabled and the maximum iterations are set to 1 in the Excel options. After this you mash F9 until the final DPS stops changing. This happens since the simulation timeline is just all the cast times up until that point added together, of course haste affects total cast time and thus the entire timeline which in turn affects all procs, trinkets, and other temporary effects.
