I use DoTimer, Quartz, Power Auras and Ghost:Pulse.

You can use DoTimer's notifications module to create a bar for the Eclipse iCD, and redirect that bar to whatever anchor you want.

I had no problems at all with S&A, it's a great addon and I have directed many other moonkins to using it, but I chose to adapt DoTimer to handle Eclipse simply because I use DoTimer for my other characters (most notably my warlock).

[EDIT - Removed pic. It was superfluous info. I just wanted to share that the near ubiquitous DoTimer addon is perfectly capable of clearly showing both Eclipse bars]

On mobile fights (Hodir etc.) I try to move only when using global cooldowns, thus saving cast time. T4 proc is one of these (future, don't have 4-set yet) "movement-friendly" casts.

Once 3.1.3 hits whenever I move, aside from refreshing instants I will just be holding down starfire hoping on the proc to come and be eaten as quick. Since it still will have no iCD it can still potentially, however unlikely proc back-to-back.

Sorry I might have not made it clear, I don't wish to turn this thread into a bunch of UI screenshots. I am just reluctant to start my own.

Tellmewhen has proven to be quite useful. I use it to track my 4-piece proc. As someone mentioned above, it's helpful to know when you have an instant-case Starfire ready to go, so you can blow it while moving.

Tellmewhen is also very helpful on Hodir; I have it set up to show me when I have any or all of the buffs in nice clear boxes above my character, so I know when I'm close enough to a fire to just stop and cast, or when I need to run and spread the crit buff throughout the raid.

Incidentally, I also have it set up to show when Starfall and Force of Nature are off cooldown, so those get popped at the very next appropriate moment.

As a matter of fact Graylo has just published some numbers on the set bonuses in his block yesterday (4T8 = +163DPS for lunar and +122DPS for solar eclipse).
4piece T8 will be a very useful set bonus, when its fixed. Its even more valuable, when you consider, that you will be able to use the proc while moving, or it will proc more often, when IS is applied to multiple targets.

You know, that's kinda why I included the options to change textures and borders... Maybe I should change the defaults to what I use, because they are pretty fugly.

Long time reader, first time poster. I've gone through this thread for quite some time now, but I have a few questions that haven't (I don't believe) been answered.

1. My gear lends itself (since 3.1 buffed the eclipse bonus to wrath) more to a Solar eclipse rotation (<400 haste, about 600 Crit). I know that with a lunar rotation, you shouldn't be refreshing your DoTs during eclipse. Does the same hold true for a solar rotation? My instinct tells me that you should wait until the iCD, but has anyone done the math/testing to prove it?

2. Both of my trinkets have bonus spellpower procs that, if procced together, give me 1000+ spellpower bonus. How do these procs work with DoTs? Does a DoT only recieve the bonus spellpower if its there at the time of the cast? Does the DoT still recieve the bonus if the buff has faded? In other words, do MF and IS recalculate the damage for each tick based upon the amount of spellpower at the time of the tick? If not, the highest DPS "rotation" would appear to be to recast DoTs when you get the proc (although this wouldn't help with DPM).

The change the 4pct8 brings doesn't devalue haste enough to even merit any math on, it's 2 ppm.

Jaconis, with Lunar there's a threshold on when to refresh DoT's, I think with IS it's 6sec and MF is much more like 9 or 12. I would imagine this is relatively the same for Solar. Considering how close the two Eclipse rotations are in DPS. (Not to mention DPET.)

With your 2nd question, i'm not 100% but i'm pretty sure DoT's maintain your spell power on cast after your buffs fade. However refreshing them too early will probably still net a DPS loss.

Think of it this way: When you clip DoT ticks you need to be able to make up the damage you just overwrote. Say Insect Swarm ticks for 1k per 2 seconds - if you refresh 2 seconds early, your re-cast DoT needs to be ticking for about 150 more per tick (1000 over the 7 ticks) to be gaining benefit from it. If it's 4 seconds early, it'll be 300 damage per tick, and so on. I don't have Wrathcalcs or anything handy at work, so I can't tell you if this is true with 1000 spell power or however much you get from your trinkets, but I'm pretty sure it isn't worth it in the majority of situations.

DoTs calculate damage at the point they're cast, without changing past that point; you could have a +1000 spell power bonus for 10 seconds and cast a DoT with 2 seconds left on the buff, and the DoTs full duration would get that bonus.

Actually it makes quite a bit of difference. As a rough approximation, most of the benefit of Haste is from Starfire casts, and Haste won't benefit instant SF casts.

Simulationcraft shows that for a PW style fight, you get about as many IS ticks as SF casts. My "rough approximation" would indicate that Haste will be 8% less valuable, and SC sample output shows crit scaling slightly better than Haste in its BiS T8, even for a Lunar rotation (this is still using the current 4t8 mechanichism).

In real fights you might depend on Hurricane, where Haste is much better than crit. On the other hand you might have a lot of movement, meaning an even larger fraction of your SF's come from IS, and you get very little benefit from Haste.

From the last log in the WWS thread (I'm not saying it's typical, and it was Solar) filtering for defeated bosses, SF was 32% and Hurricane was 8%. Remaing casts were Wrath or instants. There were about four times as many IS ticks as SF casts. Those numbers almost certainly correspond to Crit > Haste, even more so if the new 4t8 were in place.

Not with NG active. With NG and full raid buffs (WoA/Imp. Moonkin/CF), reaching 50% haste takes 401 rating.
