What can I do better?

[Pikevinge]

So I am thinking about applying to some HM raiding guilds but I want to make sure everything is as good as it can be.

Please, give me any and all advice. Rip me to shreds if need be. I want to make my app as good as possible.
(sorry if their is another thread for this, I couldn't find one)

I'm not sure if you're ready to move into heroic modes at the moment. Your equipped iLvl is lower than even full FL normal. You're definitely going to want to pick up Soulshifter Vortex off of normal or LFR DS for the stamina in heroic modes. You really need the 4p DK for heroic modes and the raid-wide VB cooldown.

Here are the issues I see, looking at kills only

- Blood Tap usage is insanely low on kills
- Diseases are at 64% on kills
- You never used Outbreak. You must use it. It's free diseases and in the course of raid I almost NEVER see it miss. You're gimping your DS to waste runes on diseases
- Get rid of the free interrupt and move the points for more RP in blood. You don't need to interrupt this tier, and you should, in raid, have interrupters.
- Get glyph of Death Strike instead of Heart Strike. As you pool RP and burn runes, the DS will hit for up to 40% more, and exceed HS.

I think your cooldowns can be utilized more. I noticed on 13 total minutes of raiding you only used AMS 4 times, IBF once, DRW once, never used Rune Tap, and never used either trinket. I can imagine there was more need for it. Don't be afraid to use cooldowns.

What I see right:

- Great DS uptime and usage with RS compared to HS. Very nice. That's usually a point where a lot of DK tanks looking to improve are failing at. You maintained a shield for more than half of all active time.

A few fun tips:

- Try using Dark Sim on Hagara as she uses her Frenzied Assault to grab her Shattered Ice and blast her. Extra dps = faster fight
- Check out DK Monitor. You can position disease timers where you focus your eyes the most so you can see immediately when a needed disease or buff is about to fall off and you can refresh it.

Yeah, I found myself struggling to use CDs in LFR when there was little damage going out to begin with. Points noted. Thanks.

That I can understand, but if you want to move to heroic modes, now is the time to practice reacting

I feel the same, though - in 5 mans I don't think I ever use my cooldowns since I outgear them so much.

Did some research and outbreak doesn't shot up on logs unless it's a miss, it just shows up as blood plague/frost fever if it hits.
Unless you think Riggnaros also dislikes outbreak http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...?s=3837&e=4422
