Ok so there's been some discussion in our guild about who to give Dark Intent to. We usually have 2 warlocks, 2 Fire Mages and 1-2 Shadow Priests (and 2 hunters....) that want the buff. So far I've always gotten DI because I'm usually in the top5 of the dps meters and because I have the legendary staff.
However last night I lost my DI to a Fire Mage while progressing on Yor'sahj heroic 25. I don't really mind too much if giving it too him is the better choice, but I'm not sure if it is.
One of the arguments for giving it to a Fire Mage (and a survival hunter according to our gm) is that DI boosts their aoe damage while Mind Sear doesn't benefit from it. Is this true? I know Mind Sear benefits from Empowered Shadows but does it also benefit from the 3% dmg bonus from DI? What about Mind Flay and Improved Devouring Plague? I tried searching for this but never really got a decent answer so I'm hoping to get one here .
In general, do you guys think that DI should go to a spriest or a fmage?
