This isn't a QQ thread looking for buffs. This is meant to figure out once and for all what is really going on. Laid out plain and simple, prepatch I was pulling 14-17k on most fights in ICC HM's. My gear is very close to BiS in all slots. Everything possible is reforged to mastery (22.01% with HM Zod's and 22.30% with Reg Fal'inrush) I've read that crit is best to reforge to mastery because as of 4.0 haste eeks out crit. Right now I can't break 13k on any fight even under the most optimal conditions. My shot queue/focus management is spot on, I have CS on CD and keep imp SS up nearly 100%. On dummies I pull 10k unbuffed which is great but I can't do the same in ICC with buffs. I was top DPS before and I really didn't think that dropping this far down the list would affect my happiness raiding but it has. Now before you say "we aren't tuned for 80, wait till 85" what is up with these other hunters saying they're DPS didn't change or in some cases posting ridiculous numbers. My hunter was my first toon in vanilla and I have a Shaman and Druid I play quite well all 3 specs so I feel like I can adapt to different play styles easily but ever since the change to focus, my game just hasn't been the same and it's made my hunter a class I loved, to a class that will become my alt in Cata as I'm switching to my Shaman, but since my hunter is geared now, I'm finishing out the rest of WotLK on my hunter. I'm only going to assume this will get plenty of trolls but thanks ahead of time to people with constructive responses.
