Why not use a Markov chain to model hot streak? Assuming that the tier 3 hotstreak resets the tier 4 counter (intuitively I'd say it does, but it's easy to model either way):

T10 totem:



219 crit vs 200 haste? Seems like another totem to skip over

From mmo. Obviously 4piece is inaccurate atm, 2 piece seems interesting enough, probably halving the CD on Elemental Mastery. Reducing the CD on LvB seems like it could be a big boost if it's...

Pendant of Fiery Havoc (ptr.wowhead.com/?item=45133) Drape of Mortal Downfall (ptr.wowhead.com/?item=45242) BiS 239 items have hit as well. So an alternative would be using icewalker (since there's...

You get the buff without the totem down, last time I checked on the ptr. Unless you mean that you wouldn't bother putting a point into ToW.

You'll probably get above 50% haste with BL. You'll probably never get 100% crit outside of a gimmick fight. You probably won't get above 5800 spell damage anytime soon. In icecrown citadel, we might...

Assuming 100% crit, 4pc t8 working as a rolling dot (aka, a 1.08 crit modifier), and no glyph of lava, LB still doesn't scale as well as LvB. According to my napkin math on the above conditions, LB...

I think the point of a mage putting it on another mage is so that they'll put focus magic on you, not another caster with higher uptime. Buff collusion

It's possible, but unlikely that a caster will go 10 seconds without a crit. If there's more than one mage, they'll usually put them on each other anyway.

Regardless of flame shock's cooldown, the glyph's purpose is to keep the dot up there, saving you a gcd from refreshing it.

If both the first part of FS and the dot have increased damage, doesn't the entire thing have increased damage? I'm counting both as one spell in this, since I don't usually clip the FS dot.

From my experience, if you're not twisting, the windfury totem isn't good as instant poison and GoA. Flametongue is even better than instant poison if the target has CoE and Scorch, but that would...

I always thought that executioner applies to both weapons, which is why putting it on both hands causes it to refresh the duration instead of having two buffs.

Getting hitcapped would gimp your other stats. Proposing getting hitcapped is the same as proposing gimping strength for the purpose of hit.
