In the first post you have

'CoA or CoD? CoD.'

That last D should be an A

Amazing numbers you have pulled there. Here is mine for comparison -> WWS

As you see, I am 1000dps behind you. Our gears can't be compared, since I had almost 200 spell power less when the WWS was recorded, than what I have now (Currently have about same sp as you do).

What buggers me the most is the huge difference of the Shadow Bolt and Drain Soul damage between our WWS parses.
My average DS tick 8768, yours 11032. 200 spell power difference can't explain that, or can it? Is there some huge difference between our raid setup that explains this?

P.S. I know, I clipped the Immolate which caused the low amount of ticks.

Edit: Bah, stupid me. It must be the other affliction lock that you had in your raid. The other lock in our raid was destro.

Changed the part about Eradication - The numbers were wrong for some strange reason. I guess the results now match the experience most players had with this talent.

New version:

How much haste is Eradication?

Time starts, corruption ticks for the first time.
There is a 4/7/10% chance of an eradication proc. This gives 20% haste right now for 12s, and the game starts again at
30s. this is an average 20%*12s/30s = 8% haste. The probability of this actually happening is 4/7/10%, depending on the talent points spent.

96/93/90% of the time, it didn't proc.
3 seconds later there is another corruption tick. The above game starts again, but the benefit is only
20%*12s/33s = 7,27% haste as you had 3 seconds without additional haste before the proc.

So you simply sum up the average benefits, breaking it up somewhere (e.g. the probability of not getting a proc 60 times in a row is only 1/1000, so I ignore these).

average haste benefit = 0.1*(20%*12/30) + 0.1*0.9*(20%*12/33) + 0.1*0.9^2*(20%*12/36)+...
I won't write 60 terms here, the result is :
1 talent point : 3.28% haste
2 talent points: 4.18% haste
3 talent points: 4.69% haste.
So the first talent point effectively gives you more than 3% haste, the next one gives 0.9% and the last one about 0.5% absolute haste. Although 0.5% haste is not that bad, there are stronger talents available.

Any thoughts on practical DPS loss of letting Haunt fall off? I've gotten in the habit of -always- clipping Haunt by casting it as soon as the cool down is up to ensure as close to 100% uptime as possible. The cooldown coming off gives you a 4 second window to reapply Haunt. Factoring in reaction time, cast time, and flight time for the Haunt projectile I estimate I'm clipping around 2 seconds. Is getting in a DoT refresh in that window instead of clipping Haunt a significant DPS upgrade, at the risk of losing your 20% debuff for a second or two?

I disagree. Haunt's travel time, combined with the potential loss in corruption ticks (and the GCD spent reapplying it) makes it more than worthwhile to refresh it when you have an optimal instant in your current cycle to refresh it. Remember, Haunt is not a DoT, it's technically direct damage, so you lose no 'ticks' from refreshing it. What is lost is the opportunity cost of casting something else (in the situation I brought up, it's (1.5/2.5) of another shadowbolt with no haste). When you take into account that shadowbolt is your lowest DPCT spell, the loss of DPS with a tick of every other DoT non Haunt-ed, and the healing it gives you, it would seem that Haunt is in fact the BEST spell to clip if you have to. Obviously in a perfect rotation, you'd have haunt land .01 seconds after it expires, but if you've got to clip something, clip haunt.

Even so his other locks in his raid have their DS ticks like 2k+ lower then his.I can't think of how this would happen.On top of that I have as much SP as him and I don't see DS ticks on avg that high.

The one person who said it wasn't bugged has retracted their statement.

Your other lock has very low DoT uptimes and is using a Felhunter. So I agree that they're not doing as well as they should. But I noticed something strange, he's also doing 3.9k DPS which the other lock in my guild is doing, with far better uptimes and about the same gear. [scratch the rest cause I was stupid and compared his Max to my Average]

Yeah I guess I could have expanded my statement. Yes its ok to clip it. But you should not cast on CD, thats silly. You do have a window to refresh after that you should use to try and ensure it keeps your Corr up...meaning casting before Corr is done ticking. All good points.

I think part of it has to do with the shorter DPS time of your fights, since things that are only once a fight (Infernal, Bloodlust, etc) have a higher DPS value in shorter fights. I'd also like to offer up my WWS stats. (Wow Web Stats)

The Infernal seems to be quite a DPS boost. Mine was on CD at the fight, quite a disappointment to me. We were also missing alot of possible raid buffs.

It is fight length.

Thats why you should just compare things like dot uptimes, as those speak more towards someones performance and less about their gear. Like if you compare amount of SBs or something...haste/bloodlust/haste pots, affect that dramatically.

What exactly is the buggy behaviour?

If it looks like a fix won't be incoming any time soon, then I prefer to add the same "bug" to the simulator.
