Our lock claims that he can only soak a spark once every 3 mins. I'm a total noob regarding warlocks, could you tell me (him) how he should do it please?

1 with dark bargain
1 with "sac'ed WW + "own shieldwall" (and maybe even hand of sacrifice)
dont play warlock myself so not entirely sure of how many they can take
we sell msv hc runs, and with 1 person less, it can be tight sometimes depending on the setup we go with from the guild,
incase you notice that your "soak cd's" isnt enough, you can either say:
"next courage spark we kill", or you kite until a cd comes up, or someone that is about to soak is able to soak one extra.

I asked Towelliee about his Brewmaster Crit + Ascension build on stream today and he basically said he prefers to stack crit for the amazing EB uptime and Ascension gives the energy regen that stacking haste would, meaning shuffle uptime is still near 100%. Makes sense to me, wondering if anyone else prefers this build as opposed to the normal Haste + Power Strikes build.
Here's Towelliee's armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...eesan/advanced
See my armory. I have more haste, I prefer 5kish with Ascension, but the high Crit is there. My Shuffle uptimes are near 100% on pretty much every fight with this build excluding like Garalon. It really is nice to have better EB stacks and will think that will be crucial in the next tier from testing on PTR.
It was quite messy last night. I'm not sure if we'll manage to get him before the patch so maybe we'd focus on something different. Do you have any suggestions? We have 5/6 mv hc, 2/6 hof (ta'yak and mel'jarak). I personally would love Tsu'long but I guess there are easier bosses then him.
I've got a question regarding stagger... Discerning between light/moderate/heavy stagger is a bloody nightmare being colourblind, the green/yellow/red difference is so feint, so I basically have to mouse over to see what kind of damage I'm staggering. Anyone got some pointers on what to do here? xD
Will isnt super hard, but requires quite alot of coordination.
In ToES i would probably say lei shi is easier then tsulong, especially with a OP brewmaster tanking boss during protector phase (glyph guard, diffusion, zen med, spam healing sphere etc).
Not sure if it isnt easier with some of the bosses in HoF though. zorlok isnt as buggy anymore, amber shaper is annoying, but not "hard". I would probably still aim for Will though, then you get atleast one of the "cutting edge" achievments, which will be nice to see in a few years looking back (maybe).
maybe you want your rogue on strength adds anyway, if lock had a hard time. If you run out of soak my suggestion is kill courage spark, and soak rage's on rotation.
knockback, slow stun and try to get them to die close to each other is important.

make a weakaura for it, alot of guides and variations out there for it. I would suggest that even if you where not colorblind.
i have 2 weak aura spells for stagger since low stagger is nothing to care about. i got the yellow in a 40 x 40 size and the red in a 70 x 70 size popping into my face. you can add some glow effect to that if u like. maybe a "HOLY SHIT" sound?
I just assume I'm always in Moderate and Purifying Bew lights up when I reach heavy by default. At least in the content I'm doing (LFR and Normal Alt runs) I only need to clear in heavy.
I run about 5.5k Haste and Ascension and still sometimes seem a bit energy starved - any suggestions? That's the most I can squeeze from my gear for now - ilvl 486. I can keep Shuffle up for 100%, but sometimes at the cost of Guard for a GCD.
Elusive Brew isn't an issue with my current Crit rating as a sidenote. Usually have 9 stacks waiting when it comes off CD.
Power Strikes is (at all relevant haste levels) always going to be more Chi than Ascension. Ascension doesn't mitigate the lower haste, it actually makes it worse by providing less Chi than Power Strikes. There's a point where Ascension provides more, but that point is so high that it actually doesn't matter which you take, you'll still have plenty of Chi either way (which is what I mean by 'all relevant haste levels').
So basically, he's just using the regular old low haste, high crit build that has been advocated a few times on these forums. Which is fine, it's proven to work, but we have to make sure we know why it works, rather than work on mis-information.
Similar to the above, you could try switching to Power Strikes. Your energy regen will feel slower but you'll have more Chi to use to keep Shuffle up.
I still prefer Ascension, Power Strikes feels clunky to me when I try it now so personally suggest just adding more haste. One thing I do on pulls is stack up 5 Chi and then let energy pool and use BoK right before KS is coming off CD, that way you aren't starting your shuffle buff until the last minute and suddenly your dumping a good 10 Chi into it at once.
Since I always "let" the other tank pull on most fights this gives you a little bit of a larger lead on your shuffle buff.

Archknight put a list of our gear together, but it's not a BiS list. You can find that here.
I'm not sure if anyone's put together an actual BiS list though, but that table is a start. Archknight also didn't get much recognition (if any) for that post, which seems like an awful oversight! So if he's reading, thank you for putting the effort in to put all our loot in one convenient location.
yea i haven't actually looked at what haste would look like with just on gear haste, probably something to look at before i start saying anything. though i just really don't want to be relying on a proc for anything when i could just get 1 or 2k more haste and not have worry about it.
from testing the 4p t15 on ptr you get a ton of pb procs from that though, if your looking to maximize crit and let your haste drop to the lowest point needed you probably wont even need to think about trinket procs anyways since the 4p procs every 5-10sec easily.
ive made a personal list of all the pieces that drop for us, once i throw some more math at it i might post it.
I use the brewmaster tao add on (wowinterface, don't think it's on curse), which gives you a total amount staggered rather than by tick, in percentage form. I generally aim to purify around 40% stagger on most fights, however some like gara'jal I have different numbers in mind.
Read up several sources and i'm still uncertain wether or not to gem for stamina or secondary stats?
Is there some sort of recommended amount of stamina i should've for normal modes or is sitting at 450K-500K going to be enough and simply not worry about it.

Agility increases crit % for monks as well :P. It's just rating right?
