On Madness 25hc, Gurthulak normal or Ataraxis hc?

[Selenas]

Just as the title says, which one would be better there? Couldnt find any decent awnsers on that, neither have I come to an own conclusion due theorycrafting myself.

Arms spec ofc, B&T specced

[Allacess]

Which spec this is for would be nice to be informed about, but in general, Gurth will pull ahead for arms vs Slicer which is the one you should be comparing it to.

Edited the spec, Arms

You don't have a H-ESS available? If so, use Gurth (procs a ton of tentancles during rended bloods + Bladestorm)

Atm not. Would Hc ESS beat Gurth? Or just Gurth all the way.

[Allacess]

ESS is the only viable competition to Gurth, but on any other fight than Spine and maybe Hagara, Gurth will pull ahead

Lots of aoe time, lots of tentacle procs

[Selenas]

Seems quite clear then. Ty =)

If I was an orc with the Axe expertise bonus how will that fare in the comparison?
And Also, just how much ahead is normal Gurth than Heroic ESS

[Allacess]

At our latest Madness kill (10man) my normal Gurth had an uptime of 27% and did 5634.7 of my 71226.2 DPS, I have not tested Madness with the H-ESS but I really doubt it can make up for that amount of DPS.
