Feral druid DPS rotation

[Awarr]

Feral druid dps rotations are hard to get right imo. For me I always keep Rip, Rake and SR up, and when I can through a FB and some shreds in. Now, ive yet to seen a topic on rotations for this patch...So I was wondering if anyone would throw in their rotation and how to improve mine. I did ICC 10 last night and my dps was about 1k lower then it usually was. I have all my gear gemmed properly and enchanted properly same buffs as always...but It was a lot lower then usual.

Thanks for the help.

The DPS priority rotation hasn't changed this patch. The kitty sticky should still be accurate.

You said your DPS was 1k lower... compared to what? Last week in ICC10? ICC25? ToC?

Can at least offer generalizations:
-Going from 25man to 10man can lower your DPS a lot, since you don't necessarily have all the melee buffs and debuffs that 25mans have.
-ICC bosses are notorious for turning to face a target to cast an ability (like Saurfang, deceptively not an ideal kitty fight since he'll face and turn to cast all of his player-targeting abilities), so if the entire raid is to the back of the boss, you'll lose the ability to damage/generate combo points due to parries and not being able to Shred whenever the boss casts.
-Going out on a limb to assume that you have a Mangle/Trauma bot since you didn't mention that in your rotation. If they die for some reason, don't forget to reapply Mangle.

'feral by night' mod.

-it tracks mangle bots too

FBN is quite outdated and shouldn't be used anymore (last update was in summer last year). Get something like Ovale with the script from EJ instead.

Ovale? Ill have to look into it, I myself use FBN. I hadnt noticed the last update on it.

[Kaetarand]

DroodFocus works just as well as FBN and it's kept up to date.

[Raytheon]
