One thing I did notice with the Dark Transformation, is that if you cast a Death Coil right when a 5stack Shadow Infusion buff expires, so that your pet will lose his 5 stack and gain a new 1 stack...

This is simply not the case. It has been discussed many times. Increasing your Hit does not increase the amount of Crits you do.

There was never an argument against stacking shields, just that going out of your way to stack the shield (aside from predictable incoming burst) is not the optimal usage of DS. Not counting ERW/RE...

I believe SparkDKTank means that "Using 2x DS in quick succession to stack the shield, is less effective than using each one seperately (to streamline the damage) even though then it disregards the...

With IBT you can use BT 2 times in 1 minute, without IBT you can use it once in 1 minute. So assuming no time lost and every BT used right on CD, you only get 1 additional SS every 1 minute, not 1...

Note it's not the damage of 5 DC that you are losing. You are losing 5x 14 RP= 70 RP, which is the damage of only 2 DC, though with the GCDs used it might still be a dps loss.

For the first I'd guess the caster trash mobs in AK, their spell hits for a percentage of total health (70 iirc). You will need a healer and take 2 hits within the shield period to reach a minimum of...

Dodge and parry share the same diminishing returns now, so keep the rating on both about equal. Your Runeforge does not impact the DR.

Keep in mind when using Horn of Winter and Kings that your...

The only one I can think of is Vindication (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=26016), the difference here being that Pala tanks will be spamming CS and HotR anyway, making the uptime basically 100%. When...

I will concede in this point. You are correct when evaluating Bone Shield by itself. But with Blood Shield in the mix this does get more interesting:


I was talking about scenario 1.
In this case,...

It matters because you have a relative amount of damage taken vs. an absolute amount of damage reduced.

The damage that BS reduces is indeed only dependant on the amount of damage from the boss's...

It is not about uptime in the sense of seconds it is up, it is about reduced attacks per time period. For example, if you have 0 avoidance and get hit once every 2 seconds, in 1 minute time (BS...

There's more to it than this. To give a numerical example, you get 3 hits of 100k with 100% mastery, all unavoided. The first hit you get (before Blood Shield) deals 100k, the second (after DS -> BS)...

Another thing to take into account is that stacking shields means avoidance actually goes up in value as well, since in between parry / dodge streaks you are able to stack a Blood Shield to soften...

I assume you mean Runic Corruption via the Sudden Doom talent? Expertise in itself does nothing to boost Runic Corruption.
Remember expertise also affected SD before this patch. I don't see how...
