No, I'm not advertising hot trash-on-trash action. I have a quick question that I didn't see through a quick peruse of the topics, so thought I'd show myself as the noob I always knew I was.
Meet Elaenora. I realise that she's in a weird mishmash of pvp and pve gear, but I am working on replacing the pvp stuff as we speak. She was primarily my pvp character for some time, which explains all the pvp stuff. It was also better than the pve gear I was getting in heroics, soooo...
Now, on to the crux of my issue. In heroics, I do a good 4.5k to 5k DPS on bosses, so I know that I can get there. However, my DPS is simply trash on trash mobs. I have noticed that I tend to to around 2200-2500 DPS on trash. I suspect that it's largely because trash gets ruined in no time flat these days, but I barely have time to start any rotation or start casting Mind Blast before it all goes poof. Is there any recommendation for me to improve my trash DPS? And on a similar vein, is mind sear as bad as I suspect? It seems that, unless used on a pack of 6 or more mobs, my DPS goes down compared to if I keep single-targeting.
Anyway, there's more back story than this, but I'm trying to keep it brief. ;)
