GoA 3.5% crit to only shamans? You do realise that other classes also have reasonable crit rates from this totem. Rogues and Warriors gain about 2%.

If I actually saw the dps increase rates you were quoting, do you not think i would favor WF over GoA. The full explanation that i gave for my theorycraft of GoA vs WF, was based on sound common sense and ingame stats. It utilises ALL aspects of dps including dps from poisons, sharpening stones, bonus crit, and the basis of my post on our Guild site was to show that WF totem does not add 20% dps as was claimed during raids, and that GoA is not useless.

We had 1 Warrior, 2 Hunters in the grp. Another time we had 1 Warrior and 2 Hunters AND a Feral tank. You do not have the context with which to say "I have pulled numbers out of my ass."

But the benefit from GoA is not MORE than 3%

You are incorrect with regards to my Guild, because you are not counting dps increases from other sources that WF replaces. Rogues can gain almost 2.5% dps increase alone from the crit, and the addition of a MH poison should push it past 3%. Like many theorycrafters, I assume you are only looking at WF vs GoA w/o including the loss of dps through other temporary MH weapon enchants.
