yet you cant break 1.8k untill blizzard either
a) buff you more
b) nerf the content more
c) you collect more 226 items with bis stats.
Why dont you stop and have a think about what you are doing, honestly, the number of players that are what i have written above yet they somehow believe that there weekly progress has something to do with there ability is just shocking. i am going to write some stuff i need to get off my chest because you guys arent going nowhere, maybe i can help you!!!!
i will use mages an example but this kind of thing applies to every class, all of you that are one of those tryharding without actually getting better just waiting for the next handout. i am trying to help you, because playing with you is just a waste of everyones time including your own, i have no doubt you want to be better, so bloody read this.
learn to look when there is unavoidable incoming damage and use barrier on yourself. you want to push higher? guess what, by asking the healer to heal what you could of prevented your stretching him. he now has to heal the amount your shield could have prevented extra, no doubt about it you will be looking at his dps at the end of the run if its 1 second out why dont you pop that shield on you so he has less healing to do and more time to do damage?that shield is 1 gcd for you, for him it might be 3. 3 Moonfires at 3.6k damage 10% crit, thats around 12k damage coming out of your party because of your 1gcd barrier.
Not even that, tanks taking a pummeling, you dont use shield, whats he supposed to do? top your grevious ahead of healing the tank?
efflo for resto druid does an incredible amount of healing, at a guess i would say it will increase the healing on you by 20% if you stand in it for say a pride, a resto druid with 10% mastery it will increase every hot by 10%, if the resto druid is healing the tank then you should have at least a rejuv on you, a rejuv + efflo = DOUBLE THE HEALING on you while the healer is focusing tank due to not only the 10% buff but also the direct heal, also the efflo hot.
heal pots? they are 10g, so you are 50% hp and have 2 stacks of grevious NOWS THE TIME to use your heal pot, help your healer out? so you got hit by something, it happens, were all human, use a heal pot, make sure your stood in his efflo pop your barrier. make up for your mistake! not just say "sorry....heal me" or worse, keep swinging that imaginary big ....
dragons breath has a 14 second cooldown, its an aoe interupt, it interupts hardcasts, unless your combusting why on earth arent you trying to make as little damage come into the party as possible? expecting your healer to heal through what you could have prevented, i have news for you players, the top top keys being played have very little to heal, why? the stuff is prevented, defensives used on point, massively reduced number of casts going through. its not simply healed through..... you cant heal through 1 shots.
by only focusing on damge you are nothing more than a glorified hunter pet, an npc that does damage, a pet of the party.
DISPELS! MAGES YOU CAN DISPEL.

this is what i see, when i join a party with a player that is 1.6k, 100 runs, meta class, collected all weekly vaults, played all the easy weeks and SOMEHOW they think there gradual progression is down to there skill.
read what i wrote above, take a shortcut.
Get 5 players that play like what i have written in a party together consistently? congratulations you are now 2.2k+
oh. ofc, you need to pump ASWELL

ESCALATION
party 1)
2 ranged in a party not standing in efflo
tank is taking a pummeling
healer is trying to spotheal the 2 ranged while the tank is taking a pummeling
healer has to blow cds
no cd for pride so heal request mage blows combust
party 2)
2 ranged in efflo
tank is taking a pummeling
healer can easily top the ranged because they are in his efflo, focus on tank, easy, no cds used
healer notifies party he has cds for pride and can save dps cds
all dps blow cds with pride and 1 shot boss
party 3)
1 ranged in efflo 1 ranged not
tank is taking a pummeling
healer can easily top the 1 range, the other ranged uses a heal pot on himself, easy, no cds used
healer notifies party he has cds for pride and can save dps cds
all dps blow cds with pride and 1 shot boss
SEE THE DIFFERENCE STANDING IN EFFLO AND USING POTS CAN MAKE?
You as dps have a responsibility to do more than just being a big swinging.... you want to be a big boy? real big boys dont just tunnel damage. thats why there rio is so high in half the time of you tryharding all the time. your performance has a knock on effect on the entire run. your dps isnt nearly as important as the majorty of you seem to think.
top dps - no ccs no heal pots no defensives = bad player capped how high he can go
average dps - lots of ccs, good defensive usage etc = PRO and will go higher than the top dps.
start unlocking how high you can go by means other than waiting for more ilvl, for an extra gem socket, for a buff to your class. every time you improve your game with things like what i have written here YOU WILL MOVE UP THE LADDER QUICKER.
