Message to User:Original Post:
hmm, despite the fact that my name etc makes me out to be a mage i do have active interest in elesham goings on. I'm hugely puzzled by the people getting really low dps, and i personally am not sticking to a set rotation due to totem procs (the badge haste one) and being lazy/laggy.

The World of Warcraft Armory

'scuse the gear and the spec, for I havent changed since levelling and im a lazy alt. im at 2384 SP with totem + flask and all other stats to be correct as per armory page. last week i managed to get in a (terrible) pug to naxx 10 and put out 3100 on patch. given that i had no replenishment so used up cooldowns on thunderstorm mana regen and spammed LB a lot with just keeping flameshock up and then using lava burst whenever it wasn't on cooldown. my gear was slightly worse (belt of blasting and the alts 75 spellpower trinket from BoA badgeloot) but i was hitcapped at 263 with a boomkin in raid (E+M + imp moonkin aura surely helped my dps i guess)

what im wondering is, how are people structuring their dps- are you trying to fit in a set rotation and therefore casting one too many LB/CL, letting FS fall off and non critting on LvB? i would ask if im getting lucky, but i repeated at 3k again today on archavon (hardest boss ingame trustori) or maybe i was just lucky twice- although i did get misses today as per no boomkin. My stats overall put me ~2% crit behind, 70 haste ahead and approximately on a par spellpower with radek125 who mentions being unable to break 2300dps- this isn't a flame in the slightest, im just wondering where the 7-800 dps difference has come from? rng?

i guess in the midst of everyone giving a good old whinge about elemental dps, im really not finding it that bad at all- at least its consistent unlike frostfire >.> although some may argue consistently bad. roll on the patch, for being a maths/formula geek i have been studying (and loving) bink's work for a while, pat on the back good sir!
