Pay more attention to capitalization of the first word in sentences. Also you should have trusted your gut on the armory thing. Linking it in your post was redundant and stupid. Nothing too serious so this is just a warning.

Original Post:

ok i've finally read through all 13 pages of this forum and i think i have a pretty good handle on effective dps as an arms warrior, but i'd just like to reaffirm some things here to make sure i'm not horrid. I did arms dps in a 25man nax but it was mace spec with inevitable defeat and i did not have a full understanding of how to arms... been fury for quite some time and its a bit of a change, though much more enjoyable.
Here is my armory page (i think it links it to the left but i'm not sure so here :p Parry - Mal'Ganis
If anyone has any comments on spec i'd love to hear them. I'm not speced into any of the shout buffs because we ALWAYS have improved BOM and i'd rather not waste a GCD refreshing it when bom is just about as good.
Edit: I know i have greater savagry on cryptfiends bite which is ass, not sure if i'm going perma arms at this point, if guild wants me perma arms i'm going to get berserking on the weapon and re gem most everything for pure crit which should put me up to the %40 crit totally unbuffed in battle stance
so again just to reaffirm my cycle should look something like this
1. Fight start
2. Charge if possible if not bloodrage
3. Rend
4. MS
5. Slam
6. SD or TFB if its up, if not slam again
7. MS
Repeat till rend needs refreshing, HSing if necessary attempting to never let a GCD go to waste. One thing i'm not sure as to yet is when to use bladestorm... its nice having weapon damage each second for 6 seconds but thats 4 GCD's that i'm not doing anything.
I've got a descent swing timer and classtimers for making sure i clip rend and don't let it fall off for more than the one second to get last tick (still gonna require practice)
Thanks in advance for any advise or suggestions.
