Copied from the DW thread:
I was going to wait until I added in a solid gear database, but it seems we've reached critical mass on conflicting napkin math and wild speculation. I have no choice but to release some
harder numbers. Hopefully Grigori or someone can provide some optimal post-patch rotations so that our numbers are as accurate as can be.
I'll run some of the more recent questions and edit in/post the results next, but I think it'll be most efficient to get the tool out there ASAP.
Caveats:
**Be sure to check 'Parameters' for a few variables that swing the calculation one way or another between the two popular specs:
Desecration uptime (this just represents the amount of time standing in it vs. not assuming it's up 100%; entering 50% will result in 25% uptime if your rotation keeps it up 50%)
Bone shield and UA uptime also self-explanatory. Target snared is for Glyph of Blood Strike, activate this (up to 100, not up to 1) if you expect to have FFB mages postpatch and want to estimate based on the claim that the FFB dot activates said glyph.
Ghoul uptime given x points in NotD - this is multiplied by 2/5 if you don't take MoG, which might not be the most realistic way to model things...
Merciless uptime might be a bit low on the estimate but shouldn't change much one way or the other.
**Additionally, check 'Buffs' to ensure that the proper buffs are selected regarding Crypt Fever and Ebon Plague. Particularly, make sure to include 3 CF if you're not the EP bitch and want to estimate stacking as it is on PTR.
**Rotationwise, the options are rather a mess. I'm pretty sure I cleaned out all the impossible rotations, but I wouldn't assume the optimal rotation for whatever spec is included or anything.
**I haven't fully tested the options regarding the optimization code for accuracy or workingness. All I know is that the numbers the estimate spits out don't raise too many red flags (provided the ones listed DO NOT USE are not used) and that in theory the non-estimate should be both more accurate and hellishly slow to calculate.

Additional non-DW related caveats:
DRW is a rough estimate and probably completely off in the outlier case of a 51 blood dual wielder.
If you add your own 2H weapon make sure to set its special property to Two-Hand in column T.
The unholy 2H rotation - for glyphed scourge strike, use 5xSS but replace an SS with PS/IT if diseases fall off - is in early stages/rough estimate.
Sudden Doom is completely untested but should work.
There is currently no way for 2H frost to estimate using HB when KM procs instead of OB.

Edit: A couple quick bugfixes:
Set Spec.Q47 to 1 and set Spec.D27 to OK.
