I don't think the sim takes into account the extra slam you can get in a Colossus Smash period (assuming low latency), which is of course a noticeable DPS increase for us (and a noticeable decrease...

Stance dancing is definitely a clear winner over staying in Battle Stance; it was even before the patch. Just macro the appropriate stance to each ability and it is quite trivial to do. Adequate...

Beyond that, it should serve as an incentive to stay in Battle Stance during the Execute phase, since Overpower has a very high crit rate and a 1 second GCD. Without having to apply rend, it should...

I'm sure the interval is at 4.6 because it is indeed doubling up, and you do not have 100% uptime on enrages. So, on average, it ends up occurring in such an interval. This occurs with quite a few...

Another important thing to note is that SimCraft is in full 372, T11 gear, so the stats are much higher than what we are seeing at current levels of gearing. Arms will of course be MUCH better with...

Why do you say that Hit is the most important stat for Fury? Strength has always been better past the 8% special cap, and that hasn't changed.

It seems to me that you are over-valuing Blood and Thunder compared to Rend, at least for single target. According to SimCraft, in T11 gear, the average Rend hit is around 4k, with the average crit...
