When comparing Megaera dps one should ALWAYS consinder the combination of heads each player is doing the boss in. For example: Ignoring green will result in a high amount of movement, lowering everyones dps and increasing SrpS contribution to the damage done ( Note: 17% sounds perfectly fine for single target application with that strategy). Ignoring the blue head on the other hand means MUCH less movement and higher dps. So, before judging anyone here by their dps done think twice and ask for their order of downing the heads!
Megaera is not Single target DPS. Well there is 1 target always that is true, but you are loosing dps during kiting the ice, deterrence on poison and new opening on each head. That is a lot of dps which is lost.
I'm Ilvl 516 atm (with 491 weapon) and on our last kill i did 105k dps (mage and rogue (512-514ilvl) did the same dps as me, but a bit more damage done overall). Our strat is to kill red and blue heads only, so at the end there is kinda a lot of ice we need to kite, and normaly we kite with no range of head...
So if you are doing 100k+ dps, you are pretty fine.
I've never done that many frozen heads, but without looking at logs it sounds like you're losing a lot more damage on movement than you should be.
As a reference point, I pad and end up around 17-20% on my SS. That's without moving, but moving shouldn't result in so many lost shots that it pushes your serpent sting almost 50% higher than the 11-12% it should be on pure patchwerk.
Yeah i will deffenitly get logs up for everyone to see and i know my dps might be fine and what not. But im really trying to improve over all because i know i can do a good bit more dps then what im doing now. But thanks everyone for all the help. Feel free to leave more advice/suggestions, and ill have logs up very soon.
Ahh Okay will do, what is a good pet comp for raid when you know what your primaary pet will be, For me I always have my sporebat at because our raid lacks the 5% spell haste. So i'd like to build a good stampede comp then if you have any suggestions that is.

As far as raid buffs I think our group is missing attack speed and we're in the middle of finding a new dps so hopefully we can get that filled. And ill be sure to apply a cobra shot when all my trinkets proc. Thanks for all the help man Ill be doing Megaera again tonight ill let you know how it goes and hopefully ill have a log to show tonight.

Yeah i know my dps maybe "Fine" but i want it to be great and thats why im here trying to drill information out of people . But if our strat continues to have problems ill keep this one in mind. Thanks.
The thing is he is, when he said "I was sitting on 118k at 509 ilvl on our 2nd kill without any multidotting except double Black Arrows after a Readiness." he did 9m damage (half) to the Frozen Head, and they killed it once. On every single kill actually, even on the first one, first one had like 18% for SrS. And trust me, that's not damage from a single BA after readiness.

The link to your logs is broken.
As a general thing for the thread though, it's useless to talk about DPS. Mainly because:
1) If people actually did the DPS that they said they did, the rankings page would look a lot different. It's no different than any other epeen question on the internet. Somehow, by complete chance, the entire forum becomes filled with 6'4 hedge fund managers with japanese girlfriends that pull perfect numbers on their hunter. Go figure.
2) DPS numbers mean next to nothing. A hunter in a 25 man raid dropping 3 crit banners and 4 stormlash totems in a 6 minute fight will look radically different from a hunter in a 10 man raid with a buff missing that takes 8 minutes to do the fight. There's no use bothering with that when you can look at logs and see exactly how good a hunter is.
Sorry try this, I also updated the Original Post it also has a working link to the log. World of Logs Link: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/f...?s=1530&e=1950
There's honestly nothing glaringly wrong. You can probably be a little cleaner getting everything right off CD, but that's most people.
Keep in mind that other classes were obviously cleaving off of the other head, so you can't look at the meters like it's a straight patchwerk fight.
OP your dps is fine imo. That fight is just not that great for surv compared to higher burst classes or multi dotters.
