I'm our top DPS right now, and Vampiric Embrace is of course fantastic during that final burn because it scales off the damage buffs already - but we were poking around with the idea of a third healer. Up until that last phase they're 2 healing it with ease, but during that last phase - maybe we're missing a mechanic or something - the damage is absurd even through cooldowns - and once we run out of cooldowns we wipe.
So thinking about what kind of healer we wanted, it had to be something that could DPS up until that last phase and then bomb heals like crazy - disc was the first choice (we already have a mistweaver as one of the 2 healers doing the same thing pretty much). So I did the math on smite spec on Elegon, unless I'm mistaken in my math somewhere, this is what I got:
35k DPS as Smite spec on a dummy with raid buffs.
35,000 * 50% more damage aura = 52,500 DPS / HPS
52,500 * 100% more damage taken debuff (Draw Power stacks) = 105,000 DPS / HPS
105,000 DPS * 50% more healing aura = 157,000 HPS
So it could be that atonement is not affected by the aura twice - that it gains the bonus damage, but not the bonus healing - in which case it would be 105k DPS / HPS - is this the case? If not, would I really be doing 157k HPS during that final burn phase?
As Shadow I'm probably doing 250-300k DPS during that - so it's a big dps loss to only do 105k, but given the healers don't scale anywhere near as well as the dps do during that burn, I'd slaughter the healing meter as Smite even if atonement doesn't benefit from the aura twice (which I think it probably does) - that would make the fight WAYYY easier (and probably mean I'd never get to shadow on it again, but I think i'd be ok with that given what I'd be gaining here).
