Since the WWS may disappear at some point, I'll describe it: Domin of Showdown (specced arcane) doing 1545 DPS on Anatheron. The fight was 4 minutes and change. He had 45 Arcane Blasts and 5 or 6 Arcane Missiles cast (there were 22 AMs landed). One bloodlust, a shadow priest, an evoc, a super mana pot, a mana gem, and a mana tide. Despite this massive DPS, he had only 88% DPS time so he only barely topped the meters. He didn't die and everyone else was near 100% DPS time, so perhaps he ran OOM? Impressive DPS though.

Let me clear few things for you. In this enounter ranged dps have to focus infernals that spawn, they spawn in diffrent locations on top of some plp. Thats why my dps time is only 88%, i had to move quite a lot to dps the infernals. I didnt go oom at all

Talibor (person that logged it) didnt log the Rage Winterchill fight when i basicly just stood there and spammed AB all the time, i was ~100k above second person in dmg done, dps from that would be i guess even higher than from Anatheron.

My wsw parse from last Gorefield (basicly tank and spank, you if your lucky and dont get ghost debuff just stand there like on patchwerk and unload all the time) freaked out on me and showed some silly things (like ghost dmg done etc) so i deleted it but i had around ~1.4k dps there with 100% dps time, thats without the brilliance aura you get on 2 first hyjal bosses.

Edit: Managed to restore it, here is my dmg done there : http://www.lossendil.com/wws/?report...ps4dbw&s=0-279

Someone wrote that 42% crit rate on AB is extreamly high and unlikley, well my avg ab crit chance is around ~40% in raids. It can get lower or higher but avg is avg. For example on Grull one time i had 52% o_O.

And yeah, mages in my guild always have a shaman and a sp in grp. I cant picture a raiding guild without 2-3 sp in raid tbh

Hope that cleared few things.

And a bit offtopic:
Why when plp compare fire spec to arcane spec, they compare 41y on fire? For over a year raiding time spent as fire mage i never had to stand on 41y, not to mention doing so would not allow me to scorch for fire debuff.... its moer like 36y vs 30y.

And yeah, since i speced this way i need to pay more attention, fire was such a slacking type of play i miss it sometimes
