Balance DPS Problem

[Deleted]

Hey guys my friend is a Balance druid and hes really having problems doing proper DPS for his ilvl. Could some of you maybe analyze his logs and tell him what he's doing wrong? He believes it doesnt stem from rotational mistakes. Thanks in advance.
The logs are from mythic Ursoc

Without going too deep into those logs first off the obvious things:
1. With the amount of haste your "friend" has Stellar Flare should by far outperform Incarnation, and Astral Communion should be your talent of choice over blessing except if you have the Emerald Dreamcatcher legendary. The reason being that while blessing gives you very slightly more AP over the whole fight AC will give you that ap 1/2 of the time while you have Celestial Alignment up resulting in more damage output. You could however argue for Incarnation on Ursoc because of the increased burst damage on the 30% phase, it will however give you lower overall dps.
2. The cloak enchant. No reason for that. Use the 200 int one. The movementspeed has been nerfed to 2% and 100 haste isn't even CLOSE to 200 int.
3. Unstable Horrorslime is a bad trinket. There are about 5-6 Mythic dungeon trinkets that will outperform Unstable Horrorslime 865 at only 840 on a single target fight.
4. Only 24 Weapon traits. The next 6 will all give a single target dps increase.
5. No Legendary. Obviously this one is hard to fix because rng is rng but still it affects dps.
6. Using WoD potions is VERY bad. Is he too poor to afford the new ones? Does your Guild not use them for Mythic farm?
7. 300 Haste Buffood instead of 375? Food is cheap, use the better one.

Edit: To be fair Unstable Horrorslime performs ok on Ursoc because of the Nightmare images but an 850 Oakhearts, WQ stat trinket, Chrono Shard or Infernal Writ i most likely still going to outperform it.

@Kouterm are you saying above 9.5k haste StFl > INC? Does this apply to single target fights only?
I have yet to see people NOT taking Incarnation, Gebuz simmed both talents in his guide and the difference is abysmal afaik. Did you run the numbers aswell?
@Kappaklaus
Your friend is over refreshing his dots. 26 Moonfires are too many on Ursoc. He's not using Nature Balance properly.
He also missed a full MoonMoon spell cycle.

ontop of what was said above, its quite easy to line up full moons with the add spawn whilst not missing out any recharge on moonmoon, so he should be aiming for that, as its a free (~600k) every time it happens.

judging by casts, yor friend also has a tendency to pool to 80 AsP then burn double SS, and then later he burns on 40, leaving him with nothing for movement, hence the high number of casts of dots. the movement is all at set times, so theres no reason why he can't have double SS saved for it every time it happens, and then you lose 0 uptime on casting on teh boss.

also its a minor dps increase, but pooling lunar empowerments and using them with the add next to ursoc is going to add quite a bit over the fight, it doesnt look like he casts many empowered lunar strikes at all with the adds out.

Where did you learn that higher haste levels necessitates Stellar Flare over Incarnation? Never heard that before. And he's not ranking 9% for his ilvl because he's missing 75 haste from a food buff. I'd say Simpleman's suggestions are more apt than anything Kouterm posted save for the comment about using WoD potions.

I'm a pretty noob boomkin, but it seems like he isn't getting much use of his AP generators...
