I tried fire abit and it seemed okay, but I heard it's not the best spec with this low gear, and so I changed to frost. Frost felt best spec to play with atm (I love fire tho, and it has always been my favourite spec). But after joining into my guilds Paragon and Garrosh normal, I got pretty depressed with the amount of dps I did. This was my first time on normal raid for long time tho, no flask, no prepot, FPS dropped pretty low cause I had others things on the background.
After doing these bosses and getting some gear for me, I decided to try arcane at dummys and see If I can get anything out of it, and so I got like 130-140k max DPS. (Consistent, not burst) which for me feels so disappointing when I see people in my raid doing 3x that dps ( They are 575 Ilvl with cloak ofc)
So i'm looking for help which spec I should stay and for how long? I will preferrably switch so fire asap it's worth it, and I don't play arcane unless have to, feels so clunky in my hands.
