There is also a less quantifiable but important benefit associated with early bloodlust:

To bloodlust effectively, you need to be able to sync it with (most) cooldowns, but also make sure that you...

I switched Gown of the Spell-Weaver out for Valorous Frostfire Robe and Signet of the Malevolent for Band of Channeled Magic. Was an easy (and painless) way to drop down 120 or so hit.

Vontre: out of curiosity (and because I'm working on setting up Pawn), what were the respective values of hit for each spec below the cap?

My apologies if this has already been stated elsewhere, but anyone know offhand the stat conversion numbers for FFB spec in end Naxx gear? E.g. 1 damage = ? crit = ? haste = ? hit.

In cases where the mage is mana limited (e.g. in 10-mans with no pally), it would be interesting to look at the optimal amount of LB casts to sacrifice per minute before the switch from molten armor...

From my testing, it seems like this macro runs into issues where FFB won't cast unless MI is off cooldown, which is somewhat problematic if you use the macro for situations when all your cooldowns...

I'm still conflicted over the value of haste for a 40/0/21 build.

There are two arguments commonly used against it:

1) It will reduce you cast times below the GCD when stacked with other...

Random question:

If you hit evocation during the last second of heroism, will the entire channel be hasted or just the first tick?

I'm still trying to determine the relative benefit of haste to a 40-0-21 spec. Three things seem to be working against it:

Haste and 40/0/21

Having recently switched to 40/0/21 from 2/48/3 (at least till I get 4-piece T6), I'm somewhat torn regarding how to value haste. Using my stats in Lhivera's TC tool, for example, gives me 1 haste...

Given that I do not have 4-piece T6 yet, our other mage is deep frost, and we generally have CoS up but not CoE, I have a feeling that 40-0-21 would be the best spec for me post-2.4. However, I have...
