The OP has not been updated nor has it addressed my question. Is a hard cast Pyroblast worth casting now with the increased DoT damage? Doing a simple test dummy run, casting Fireball (2.09s) hits...

My understanding is that Combustion gains a new tick every 10% haste.

Haste Cooldowns and Combustion

I'd like to start some discussion on an interesting situation I've found myself in.

As a troll mage, Berserking has been nothing more than an ability used on cooldown, preferably with potions and...

Has there been any discussion involving the 1140 haste target? Rawr does not seem to value it, but at 1140 haste (and raid buffs) we are able to fit a third fireball into Pushing the Limit when the...

What I meant to say was, more ticks of damage should increase the amount of mana returned regardless. On BQL for example, most parses show around 140+ ticks of damage. Assuming we resist 10% of...

No, dots from LB will not reset the critical strike counter of Hot Streak, just the same as the dot from FFB will not reset it.
