If I were to stick strictly to a slam rotation, would I be better off with something else in place of DST, such as [Madness of the Betrayer] or [Berserker's Call]? Or is the SoC/DST combo truly the best even for a slam setup?

I'm one of those lucky people who has all the good trinkets to sample ( except the muru trink ) and lately I've been using Madness + DST. If I am lucky enough to pick up another good piece of gear with a solid amount of hit, which I am not holding my breath for since it is basically Illidan's ring, I would probably use Shard and DST. For now I am just going with 2\2 weap mastery ( a nice option since I am human ) and using Madness and DST.

I have been doing the no slam method for about two weeks now, and I have to say while this method is "easier" I still get these periods ( which is the obvious point of the build ) where I am at 50 rage, I dont Q up a heroic, and I triple attack for 2800 each and I know I wasted about 80 rage, Of course there are those one in 15-20 attack rotations where I Q up a Heroic, get a proc, get up to 80, hit it again and get a proc again and don't waste anything. Unfortunately it seems that I do my best damage when I am wasting rage vs when I am trying to super anal not waste rage.

I really enjoy raiding as a DPS warrior but I really can't figure out which method is best ( I don't like either much the slam or no slam ). It seems it would be nice to try to do both as a hybrid, but I can't seem to find a good metric for when to do what.

This all related to the original question, and I have been trying a normal slam rotation with no haste gear and using DST, and switching to the no slam rotation for DST buff + one extra "rotation" after the buff fades, and going back to slamming. So far it seems to be best to drop the DST, stick with the madness if you want pure slamming but I've got to believe if you could perfect a method like this it would be far superior DPS.
