My list of characters is available in my signature if you want to look at my logs. In Nighthold I had orange parses on everything but Tichondrius on Heroic during 7.2, and 7 of the 9 bosses I killed on Mythic (I never did Star Augur on DK) were 92%+. I'm out of practice now because I played Druid for last few weeks of Nighthold (and just went on vacation for 2.5 weeks), but my lowest percentile parse in Heroic ToS is 80%, my average is 91%, and that's without Chest, Shoulders, Trinket, with only 926ilvl, and without playing to parse, so I think I'm performing pretty well. Mythic isn't as good, to be sure (average is only 71% with 1-2 Mythic kills per boss on my BDK), but I'm certainly not a complete noob. You've said before on this same topic that you don't think I'm playing my DK well (or to its full potential), and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't keep saying that same thing. Either post your own logs so we can compare, or just lay off it. We're talking about optimal and ideal performance, not measuring the amount of mistakes each other makes.
