I use my cooldowns as dps whenever i get some sort of dmg on me. Sure its a loss of dps of 1 gcd, but dead dps is no dps.
I use all defensive CDs Elemental Shamans have (zero!).
Armory available upon request, but here is a small preview:
It is better than yours.

In most cases dps cant really do much to help healers.
As a warlock i do use Death Coil, my endless healthpot and healthstone if i receive a big hit from a boss. In some fight i do ofc also have portal ready, so yea, helping as much as possible. (Also, im demo so im using soul link aswell )
This . But i did spec into http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=28998. But only for hardmode raiding.Originally Posted by SC2 Beta Key

Qualifies as helping the healers thoughOriginally Posted by Kneeo
In progression content yes, in farm content and 5-mans no.
I use Defensive CD's alot (my DK is Frost DW so I drop UA all the frakkin time, plus AMS on bosses with heavy magic damage) but I don't spec into defensive talents unless they also boost my dps. The way I see it, I'm a Dps, my job is to spec/gem/gear myself to put out as much Dps as possible without pulling agro, so whereas dropping the odd AMS wont hurt my dps, and in some cases will infact boost it, I'm not gunna screw around with my spec taking defensive talents, as that will harm my dps, and the lower my dps, the longer the boss is alive, the more damage he'll do.

Deterence for things like Lokens AOE, Maiden of Griefs AOE stun, stuff I can see about to happen. Disengage for getting out of aoe patches and moving away fast and FD... Best defensive CD ever.

none of them does, believe me you'll see it if you're a tank
just a few days ago we were doing anub'rekhan for weekly raid, a mage pulled aggro about a minute into the fight (I was using my TF, not expecting anyone to do over 3k dps), and the boss was taunt immune (which was my fault, I'll admit to actually doing something wrong as apose to the 9000 things you get blamed for that aren't your fault as a tank) but does he use invis? does he even use ice block? no! all he does is run away from me and say OMG TANK WTF!
I mean, seriously, the dps nowadays are shit, none of them know how to properly do a rotation or to keep themself alive, let alone use their cooldowns to save others or help the healers.
I am actually impressed when I see a dps do something smart, I've never seen a retradin LOH or hand me during big damage, I rarely see DK's making proper use of death grip, I rarely see people stopping dps when they're supposed to.
Just because your role is the easiest doesn't give you an excuse for slacking off, read some theoriecrafting and optimise your dps, and use some skill while you're at it.

I just got what Falric is talking about in HoR.
Clearly, he was referring to the cataclysm class previews.Men, women and children... None were spared the master's wrath.
Despair... so delicious...
Fear... so exhilarating...
Deterrence is for doing hilarious things that should kill you, and yet don't, because deterrence is awesome, such as using it to stand facefirst in Ony's deep breath, or standing through the vortex attack on Twins.Originally Posted by Malania
