I have been using the typical ABx4 until MB procs and rinse and repeat. Perhaps I am not using my cool downs appropriately? IV and AP I've been using at the beginning of the fight, followed by my trinket "Fetish of Volatile Power" and eventually I'll use PM after the 4th AB if MB procs. I'm not sure if this rotation is making me fail, but my dps is less than stellar. I use magealert, scorchio2, and satrina as addons to help me with knowing when my stuff procs.

My DPS on dummies in org is crap. I'm hoping someone can give me some friendly advice. Also, I have 3 trophies in my bags plus T9.5 chest piece. Should I buy the badge trinket with +128 Int. with the Use of Increased SP?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Just a few quick notes off the top:

- Haste is of much greater value for Arcane than Crit. 30-35% crit self buffed is more than sufficient, and you've gone well past that.
- You can safely drop about 100 hit: with proper raid buffs, you can drop even more.
- Take the T9.5 shoulders and gloves over the robe. Again, haste > crit.
- Unless you have someone putting up a slow debuff on the target dummy, Torment the Weak will not be triggered while testing. This is a sizable DPS boost that will always be up in a raid, so take this into account while smacking the dummy.
- Go ahead and grab the Talisman of Resurgance with Emblems. It's one of the best trinkets out there for Arcane right now.
