Using the expression editor for 5 seconds shows spell duplicates, indicating that whoever was logging for that raid had their combat log bugged.

Updated the OP with Gada's results. He actually used the Crit/Hit shoulders instead of the Crit/Haste ones and ended up with 1 wasted point of hit rating. Still... he found a sweet spot with haste that raised the DPS enough to make up for that.

Playing with the 230X haste cap, I got MM (Arcane) up to 39887

There is a rather large flaw in your theory crafting...

Both of the Profiles use Blood Lust at different percentages into the fight. If you make both profiles burn Blood Lust at 17% into the fight (Like the Arcane Rotation Profile does), the Aimed Rotation does less DPS.

The same is true for the Arcane rotation for using Blood Lust at 20% into the fight (Like the Aimed Rotation Profile does), instead of 17% into it.

This cool down needs to be kept the same over both profiles, to make it the most accurate that it can be between the two simulations. Blood Lust has a massive effect on our DPS, so needs to be kept consistent.

There is no point stating what does the most damage out of the two play styles, if you don't keep the variables of the fight the same. Changing a dynamic haste buff is not the same as tailoring your gear to a set rotation. It has a totally over powering effect on your DPS and can shift it massively.

It is important to note that In reality, on a fight like Baleroc, you would be burning Blood Lust at 2-3%(Boss at 97-98% HP) into the fight. However, this would coincide with the first pair of Rapid Fires, making it a DPS loss to use both Rapid Fires while already under the effects of Blood Lust. (Global cool down Bound!).

Rapid Fire gives a much bigger benefit than Blood lust does, so holding the Blood Lust cool down and allowing a Rapid Fire chain during the Careful Aim(CA) phase of the fight, Is the most effective way to achieve a higher over all DPS rating.

I propose that you add "% of time into the fight to use Heroism/Bloodlust/Time Warp" into the table at the beginning of the thread, so that all of the testing is done on a level playing field. Be warned that if you do take my advice, the different percentages into the fight that Blood Lust is popped, will affect both rotations differently. One will rise and one will fall.

Tomorrow, I'm going to have some fun trying to get my guild to hold on to Blood Lust, just so I can do 30seconds worth of cool downs at the start of the Baleroc fight... =P

(Wish me Luck!)

Bloodlust is not required to be static. You can change it to whatever suits you best. Bloodlust timing is often debated and seeing when is the best time to use it is one of the great things about an analysis like that. Is it better to use it early on when it can better coincide with other cooldowns? Or is it better to use in Termination/Kill Shot range? This can tell you.

I think it's also worth noting that the latency has very adverse effects on various specs, for example for myself as i am playing from SEA region and have a ping of around 300, the following will happen with 300ms added into the FD settings:

Best MM (Hard Aimed):
DPS: 40539.81 change of -1128.41

Best MM (Arcane Shot):
DPS: 39922.19 change of -1290.62

Best BM:
DPS: 37236.86 change of -2854.74

Best Survival:
DPS: 36035.41 change of -2305.83

The same is true for survival. Moving RF down to a lower priority than SpS and BA will increase the DPS slightly (mostly due to Noxious Stings I assume). This means Warper's template will end up at 36066.96 DPS. Very minor increase but still.

On a somewhat related note the low numbers for survival really make me sad.

EDIT: Actually probably due to more time for RF hasted Cobra Shot cycles since you won't have to spend GCDs putting up DoTs.

If your latency around 300ms then go into your Interface > Combat settings in WoW and change "Custom Lag Tolerance" to around 400ms. This will largely negate most adverse effects of latency as far as your rotation goes.

Updated OP with the rotation changes. It's kind of odd actually. It causes RF to be used at the end of the Chimera GCD instead of the beginning of it even though it's off CD at the start. Possibly an unintended but positive behavior.

Point of curiosity here as I work to understand Zeherah's tool a little bit more thoroughly:

The biggest hurdle I've been working to overcome is in making Whitefyst's MM guide/theorycrafting mesh with the extreme high end gear used in the profiles mentioned in this thread-- trying to apply the theory being displayed here to the core being described by Whitefyst.

My current curiosity is the "Save Focus For: (Explosive, CS, KC)" drop down menu under shot prioritiy. In my current gear, with the same prioritiy, saving focus for nothing (not selected) is a 2189 dps loss, whereas in the test profile, it's a 586 dps GAIN. Is this all as a direct function of my current setup being on the lower end of haste? I'm just looking to understand the mechanic a bit more soundly before I take on any major changes.

My Survival DPS of 36202 (post 26) is still better than Daddy's. However, it does not respond well to his fix, losing 250dps in the process.
