Heck, even in some fights with the shammy, you're too far away so you benefit everyone who is out of range of shammy. Anyway, this isn't my point.

The point is, if you're killing bosses really fast, Meta / Ruin shines simply because Meta can be used for a larger percentage of the fight (say you get Patch down in 1 min 45s, then meta is going to be up a huge portion of that fight. Also, heroism is going to be up a larger part of that fight, which you're going to (or should) use meta with.

41/30 tends to have more steady high damage, but with Meta your damage spikes crazily high. Choose depending on your guild / groups. If you're doing PuGs or have a slow progressing or badly geared guild, 41/30 is going to be the better performance option for you. If you're with a min-maxing guild, all epicced, go Meta/ Ruin. This if course all depends on your personal preference too
