Yet since WOTLK, I've noticed something awful with Combat DPS. My DPS as Combat was around 2100-2400 at best too, and my gear was slightly better than yours (I had Greed for example). Since I switched to Mutilate, my DPS changed to 3200-3500. My Global Raid DPS was slightly higher than 2400 as Combat because of BF-FoK-KS-FoK and God knows there's so much AoE in Naxx, but even though I performed all rotations correctly and adapted to situations as fast as possible, I could not get past 2400.

I still feel however I'm doing something wrong. There are fights when I'm fully buffed that I can at best keep up 3000 DPS as Mutilate while mages skyrocket to 3900-4000. I never let SnD or HfB drop and try to keep Rupture up all the time, but I can't help but feel that there's something not right.
