Original Post:

So I'm having somewhat of a problem. I've read this thread, I've used the spreadsheet, and I'm just still completely lost.

My problem is I'm not sure whether or not to use MM or Surv as my main spec. According to the spreadsheet, I would be losing ~157 dps speccing MM rather than Surv. Which is rather disappointing to me, considering I prefer MM to Surv, simply for the fun factor.

Now, on a Target Dummy I pull about 3.5k dps as survival. As marksman I'll pull anywhere from 3.4-3.6k (and this is without cooldowns, i.e. rapidfire, readiness, kill command, etc.)

The constant variation in my MM dps is due to my "rotation" being... not right? My current glyphs are CS, SerS and Hawk. At first my "rotation" was SerS, CS, AS, ArS, SteadyShotx3, repeat. I was maintaining 3.4k and a few 3.6k dps spikes.

At one point I decided to just use a priority list of CS, AS, ArS and then Steady shot as a filler... And my DPS shot up to 3.7-3.8k. Obviously mana was somewhat of an issue at that point...

I don't know, throughout all my testing it seems I do roughly the same amount of DPS either spec... But I want a sort of, confirmation if you will for whether or not I can put out more dps as Marks.
