Wow Web Stats
The fight lasted 183 seconds I did 4671 dps.

VT - 51 SWP - 56 DP - 55 MB - 21 MF - 119

The other priest had 1 more tick of SW:P and 2 more ticks of VT. When VT or DP drops I always finish my mind flay, should i clip it to reapply the dots instantly or finish the cast? Also when say VT is dropping and it has lets say 3 seconds left, is it alright to refresh it early or should you wait for it to drop off entirely.

After the Shadow word Death nerf with it only giving 1 stack of shadow weaving, my current start of the rotation has been MF MF VT DP SW:P. The mind flay giving 2 stacks is nice but im not sure if i should cast both fully or start the cast and clip them just for the stacks. After the 5 stack is up Ive just been trying to keep VT/DP up as priority and keep MB on CD MFing in between timers.

Just a tad worried I can't hit 5k dps and I'm running out of gear to upgrade my dps, after I replace my rings/cape everything else is a slight upgrade, most of which I cant afford to lose the hit to upgrade to.

Your rotation could use improvment as im sure you already know. Also from WWS i doenst look like you are using the herbalism consumable (i dont know the name but didnt see it). A easy dps upgrade would be switching to JC. you would gain 64 spell power and crit(or hit) rating in exchange for 16spirit.

However its not gear thats holding you back from 5k its the rotation getting 3 more mind blasts in that fight should be achievable while still keeping VT uptime over 90%. Of course higher RDPS would help too.
