Okay so I am a fresh level 80, this is my first and only toon, and I'm having some issues pulling off DPS in heroics. Let me start with saying I browsed these forums extensively and I have some ideas. I just want to know what people say, not what a sticky post says. I figure instead of listing all my different things such as gear, spec, and glyphs, I'll just link my armory like so: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Sisters+of+Elune&cn=Valleyum . So I'll start with my worry, my friend who brought me into WoW again also got me into his guild once I hit 80. They're fairly casual, but have an ICC10 run every now and then. My friend said that he can get me in on these runs if I get 4 pieces of tier 9 armor. Well as you can see I got my third today, and I don't see my fourth far off, and I'm worried about my DPS. When we're dealing with trash mobs I pull 3k- 5k DPS on average using blizzard, which usually is first or second in DPS. But then we hit bosses and I'm doing 2.5k- 3k DPS max.. Now I've thought it's my build because I went FFB instead of Arcane or full fire. I was the first mage in my guild, and they all said raiding specs are arcane and fire. I found FFB really interesting in general, and went with it. But that aside, when I see my DPS meter after a boss fight I almost get embarrassed wondering if anyone else has a meter and can see how poorly I did. I feel as the glass cannon, the mage, I should be putting out much more DPS. I have a macro that boosts my DPS greatly, it combines Combustion, Icy Veins, and both my trinkets into one button, and I have to say, on trash mobs in Strat I broke 10k DPS (although that pally got A LOT on him) but still, I was happy. I also have a cast sequence macro for my rotation which consists of living bomb, scorch, living bomb. That's because scorch is a 30sec debuff, and living bomb is 12 seconds each. Keeps them all up, when they're up I spam FFB and pyro when hot streak procs. So anything you could tell me to help boost DPS would be great, I'd also like suggestions on gems for my gear, and anything you think about my spec or glyphs. Thanks a million to anyone who responds.
