my dps took a major crash. i was messing around with a different spec and came back to my raid spec. since ive done this my dps has taken a major crash. i actually feels like im in hunter mode with aspect of viper on. not sure what to do or how to get my dps back up.

rotation is: life tap. CoD, immo, chaos bolt, conflag, spam incinerate till CD's come off and repeat.

i have even gone back to destrofordummies addon to see if i was missing anything.

anyone have any suggestions.....PLEASE

Rotation should be more like this:

Life tap, immolate, CoD/CoE, conflag, chaos bolt, spam incinerate

Keep life tap and immolate up at all times.
Use conflag and chaos bolt, when CD is up.
Use CoD/CoE, if it goes off.

I keep getting an error, when trying to visit your armory.

Depending on what you have, "use" ability of trinkets should be macro'd to be cast with incinerate.

What is your current dps and what was your dps prior to spec changing?

Edit:

Don't forget to use a firestone.

Some how you missed an A in the server name. This is your armory link:

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=arathor&cn=mesougly

I recommend using this macro in place of incinerate spam:

#showtooltip Incinerate 
/console Sound_EnableSFX 0 
/use 13 
/use 14 
/cast Incinerate 
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear() 
/console Sound_EnableSFX 1


It will use trinket "use" abilities and cast incinerate.

It looks as if you're not hit capped (17% or ~450 hit), unless you're relying on party buffs.

Are those dps amounts for solo, heroics or raids? With groups, you get buffs (hopefully), which increase your dps. For myself, I usually do 3-4k in heroics. The other night I did rep runs of ICC 25-man and hit around 8-9k dps. In 10-man ICC, I've done 5-6k dps with some groups and 7-8k dps with others, while using the same rotation for each.

ok my heroics i do about the same amount 4 4.5k dps. icc 10 im doing like 5.5-6k and icc 25 man im doing 7-8k. so it looks like im a little low when it comes to the raids.

ill try out the macro and see how that goes.

and yes on my hit i know im not at 17%, that i am relying on party buffs for that. i may go back and put 1 or 2 points into suppression till i am capped.

If you mostly raid and get buffs to be hit capped, don't worry too much of solo play. Instead, just grab a trinket or something with some more + to hit, to cap yourself for solo and pug/random runs, in case you're not hit capped with buffs.

Since hit cap in raids is 13/14% and hit cap for heroic 5mans is 6-7% I would advise not picking up more hit as raid buffed hit is double anyway.

This is absolutely wrong. Spell hit cap in a raid is 17%. See: Spell Hit. Using talents and debuffs, you can lower the amount of hit rating required for a particular encounter, which is explained in the linked chart.

Edit for clarity.
