You don't have KT staff, you have a strength ring, and you don't have Malygo's gloves. Although you have some of the good pieces of ulduar you're missing some of the key pieces of what nightcrowler describes as pre Ulduar BiS.

While the staff hurts him a lot, note that according to WMO's leaderboards, no one is reliably coming close to 7000 DPS on fights without damage multipliers.

WMO leaderboard

There's a few people coming close, but 7000 DPS isn't exactly "expected". It's closer to the optimal upper bound.

Does anyone checked if FBN or Face Mauler is better at the moment? I´ve tested both but I´m not sure which one to use.

In order to properly critique what you're doing, we need to see what you're doing. Asking "how am I missing 1500" without showing us anything really isn't going to let us tell you anything other than "you're not doing it right"

Unless you're using inability of anyone to reach FbN or Rawr's expectations as rationale for questioning it's math, in which case I agree completely. Something isn't right when I'm barely within 1k of Rawr or FbN.

I have not uploaded anything new to WMO lately, but I did 6.1kish on General the first or second week of ulduar when I had no ulduar loot. I am almost always top DPS of our group when I do not have to OT aswell.

But I don't use this addon either, so maybe you should just work on your DPS rotation on training dummies with the help of this addon to get a feel for when to do what. Key to the big numbers seems to be knowing when you should FB.

As a gauge, I do about 4.2k DPS with MOTW/FF on the heroic testing dummy. I usually do my tests in a span of 6-10 minutes. No mangle bot ofc. I just got 2T8 and have not tested out my dps with it yet. From what I have heard, it is about a 200 dps increase unbuffed against a dummy.

This is a very useful post to me, thank you. Knowing what others are realistically getting on both damage meters and against the heroic testing dummy is nice to have to compare with. Thanks again.

I have personaly decided to keep stacking agility as I am one of my guild's MTs and dont have the luxury of a spare set of gear to stack with armour pen. That being said, I think even with a very loose rotation, and without the aid of any kind of addon, (like feral by night or face mauler) around 5.5K dps is a pretty baseline mark on any fight where you have time to load up your DoTs and Debuffs.

The difference, for me at least, in fights where I am going 6.5K plus is whether or not I am really pushing for those extra FBs and not messing up everything else to get them. I dont use a simulation mod as I am trying to not tunnel vision while encounters are still new. I have found programs like Face Mauler/FeralByNight to be very useful for testing rotations on training dummies, like other posters have mentioned. A good solid priority rotation and I think 5.5K dps or so should be pretty much always attainable. More than that is going to depend on your skill at utilising energy for FBs and/or how all your clearcasting/trinket procs line up.

In regards to the discussion about Painlezz. Looking at your armory at the moment you appear to have a mix of armour pen and agility gems. I am guess the trinkets shown are not your raiding ones so I cant comment there. Your weapon is definately not BiS pre ulduar and doesnt even have the best enchant available on it. Beyond that, we would need to see your actual dps style to understand why you think your dps is low. Lots of factors contribute to your dps. The modelling addons available generally calculate ideal conditions only.

let me hunt down mtrand.cpp

RAWR!

you da man. Included mtrand.cpp (which includes mtrand.h), and now it compiled/built then executed fine!

Is it safe to assume this is the new BiS?

Already been discussed.
FeralbyNight (Cat & Bear simulation tool)

I have T8 chest and 8.5 gloves. For my other 3 set slots, I have t7.5 helm, Shoulderpads of the Monolith and Leggings of the Honored. Would it be better to swap shoulders or legs for 2 pc t7 bonus? I wouldn't mind working it myself in the simulator, but I have no clue how to use it. I'm looking for advice on the gear or how to use the simulator, thanks very much in advance.

Back then, shadow crash still reduced the energy cost of our attacks by 75%.

I'm having the same problem. From the first attack to the mob death i have FFF suggested the whole time.

Suggest FFF is only for cat purpose. For bear FFF is one of our best threat abilities so the code suggest it every cooldown and you should use it every cd (6 seconds) in order to maximaze tps/dps.

Does it take into account if a boomkin casts improved FF? Since we can't override imp FF, that might explain why it's not ever going off, even though my cooldown is active.

The bug of not being able to apply Feral FF when Misery from a shadow priest or imp. FF from a Moonkin is up was fixed with 3.1 afaik.
You should not have any problems with applying FFF anytime the CD is ready and as already suggested before you should do it from a DPS/TPS point of view.

The problem is that it's suggesting FFF all the time, as they reported. It's not suggesting any other ability. Even while FFF is on CD, it's still suggesting it. For the last 2 weeks I've been using FBN, it has not shown any other ability to use in bear other than FFF.

I think it has something to do with Imp FF (boomkin) being on the target already, so FFF doesn't get applied, even though it does dmg and gives threat.

Doesn't have anything to do with Moonkin FF, since I noticed this yesterday while soloing Anzu (I play cat full time otherwise, so I can't really say in regards to other situations).

The exact thing that happened is that it did show FFF coming off the coodown, but it put up Mangle too, once it was ready to be used, and as expected kept showing Maul constantly to the right of the biggest icon. What it didn't suggest was Lacerate.

Actually all our moonkin stopped raiding so I can't test it, but wasn't it changed in 3.1? We can't still apply FFF when ImpFF is up?

I'm unable to replicate both this bug and the TF bug posted by Smartie (It doesn't show TF when I use berserk for me) so I'm a little lost, if you can be more specific about the situation (spec, boss, raid comp, etc..) it would be very helpfull.

We can apply FFF while impFF is up, this is 100% sure. I do use it every cooldown. But i modified the .lua to not see the Bear version of FBN, so i cant tell what it is telling to apply.

@Smartie: I think it doesnt suggest Tigers Fury in the Main Cycle while berserk is up. Its shown in the (i dont know the name for it, the left part of the frame..)

Yes. It show tiger's fury on the left part of the suggester frame, it doesn't mean that you should use it but only that it's "reloaded". If you feel strange about it I'll try to change it in a more intuitive way. As for the FFF bug, do player with that bug have a different language (not english?), it could be a localization error.

Actually they changed the shadow crash thing a few days before I did that. You can probably find the parse on there and see that I did not gain the shadow crash debuff at all.

I'm pretty sure I could have done well over 10k with the old shadow crash.

Either way, the way I have been able to do such high dps is just practicing on training dummys.
