And there are these wonderful things called "paragraphs" that are useful ways of grouping sentences together to make them easier to read.

Original Post:

Guys if I may, I'd like to ask for some advice.

I recently got a 2nd justicebringer and 2pc t9.
Unbuffed crit is 41.75, ArmorPen is a little higher, and AP ~ 5300.

My dps has not seemed to change at all compared to prior than these 2 upgrades and I'm kind of mystified.

According to the DPS spreadsheet I should be 6950ish --- though reality is that is only the case when there are plenty of cleaving opportunities. (IE Kologarn is ~ 10k)

Now I figured I should explain a bit about my spec. I use 5/5 enrage and 3/3 cleave because I solo and box things like zg-ALOT, and I do not figure they are particulary raid impacting. I suppose it can be argued that 2/2 execute and 3/3 bloodsurge would be better, however I'm a bit iffy on slam procs, as sometimes they go unused, esp if ww and bt are not on cooldown. (bt > ww > slam).

I do not have a grim'tol or runestone. I have the worst luck sometimes.

One thing I have not done is gemmed for ArP like I see a lot of people doing currently, that will probably change in 3.2.2 with the nerf.

Gold is no object here, I have plenty.... is it worth it to gem straight ArP even for a little while? The spreadsheet does show SEP of ArP as 1.2ish with my latest download, indicating that would be the thing to do. It just doesn't "feel" right, you know?

Basically I guess I am looking for any obvious problems with my setup and as to why I seem to have hit a plateau on dps despite the upgrades. I'm certainly open to gemming ArP if it is a clear good option, even if only for a week or 2 or whenever 3.2.2 comes out.

That said, I am aware I'm barely over hit the cap, and actually short some exp (after going from 8.5 legs which had a lot of exp) -- so I'm between gear on fixing that. Im open to changing the spec as needed.

Thanks

Edit: Yes, I use a lot of blue gems to make socket bonuses -- and yes, I realize this will keep me slightly off from what I could potentially be as puredps, however I do like all the extra sta
