If your spreadsheet dps does not match your actual dps check these things:
1. Are you moving alot? Casting Battle Res? Shifting out to heal?
2. Are you slowing down because of aggro? Are you slowing down because of mana?
3. Are all buff being added correctly. (Do you have that ele shaman? Is judgement of wisdom up as much as you put on the sheet? etc...)
4. Are you able to chain cast each spell in your rotation without much lag or is your 14 second rotation taking 15 seconds of actual time?

If you go back a few pages there was a good discussion about Idol of the Unseen Moon i'd suggest you read those and then re-ask any questions.

Thanks, I am not trying to be the "I didn't read the thread" monkey, there were not many specific answers about the differences reading through the thread (I checked it after I saw 2 or 3 others also asked). My latency is usually low, looking through WWS, I saw that curse of shadows actually wasn't up much, which kills a bit of the arcane damage and puts a wrath rotation back higher on the chain, and puts me closer to the target...I only had to move for the BR and got watery graved once. I have a rebirth marked in the spreadsheet, that is supposed to be taken into account of the DPS already then no? I did not slow down for agro or mana. (we wiped ~5m in, so I didn't have issues with either)

On the Idol side, I've seen discussions on both sides about if it effectively procs if it is equipped before or after the moonfire cast in the same macro and I have not been able to find an answer nor figure it out on Dr Bomb yet... I usually have a less < 150ms ping and low-latency (.4s or less for the most part).

Oh, on the lower-level equipment boomkin side, there was once piece I used for a while that's not in the spreadsheet -> [Eye of the Night] .. I don't use it anymore, but some earlier starter boomkins might be looking for it.
