I'm getting back into boomkin raiding and have been practicing against the heroic targeting dummy to work on my rotation. However, I can't seem to consistantly outdo 5.2-5.7K DPS according to Skada.
My rotation is: FF-Wrath (gets Earth and Moon up)- Starfall - Treants - IS- MF - Wrath until Lunar - Starfire during Lunar - refresh DOTS - Starfire until Solar - Wrath during Solar- refresh DOTS - repeat with treants and starfall going up during the eclipse breaks.
My main question on the rotation is in the event of a seemless transition from Lunar-Solar or Solar-Lunar do I want to refresh expired DOTS and lose a few GCD's of Eclipse in the process? I currently run a macro to cast my MF and IS, should I use separate buttons?
For addons I run Squawk and Awe and WiseEclipse (though I hear the later may be useless now after 3.3).
I'm hit capped and have hit the haste soft cap of 400 and an unbuffed crit rating ~29% with Mark of the Wild as my only buff.
My armory is: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...&cn=Beaverhero
Is wanting more DPS against a targeting dummy reasonable without the raid buffs and the shammy haste totem? I've seen Boomkins do 7.5k DPS against the likes of Toravon and that is where I feel I should be to compete in ICC10/25.
I do realize that my 219 cape could use a +23 haste enchant, but I don't think that is my main problem as I am soft-capped there anyway. I would also like to find replacements for my relatvely low item level leggings, cape and ring (though I'm thinking of eating 200g and swapping my healing Ashen Verdict ring for the caster DPS variety). I have a ton of Triumph badges but am having trouble finding badge and crafted upgrades with +hit.
Any advice?
