I know you might have figured it out, but in case you haven't then if the fight goes on for 6 minutes you want to use your AW/GOAK on CD each time. Without the CDR trinket it should be:
00:00 - AW/GoAK
02:00 - AW
03:00 - GoAK
04:00 - AW
06:00 - AW/GoAK
Now the CDR trinket reduces them both with the same percentage, meaning they will line up for eachother during the 3rd GoAK no matter what. What you have to do is figure out how long the fight will last. The only reason you want to hold back for even just a few seconds is if ES is on back up in 32-32 seconds and you have AW/GoAK ready. Then I suggest you hold them for 2-3 seconds and fire them off with highest priority on getting ES off the last 2 seconds of your buffs.
For those of you interested, there is another thread where we debate quite a lot about gear choices and such, and one of the rets there just released a video guide that is quite handy. I can drop the link but I don't want to derail. The thread can also become quite elitist sometimes.
Regarding T16 4piece, yes you want to use it. The 2piece is around a 2% dps increase and the 4piece can be anything from 2-7% for single targets depending on your RNG. Furthermore it works additively with Divine Purpose, so for fight with just 1 or 2 adds you can easily position yourself with your back towards some adds and fire off a DS, even when not having a proc. Using DS with 2 or more adds will result in a dps increase over using a TV.
If you have 4piece T15 (regardless of LFR, Normal or Heroic) you don't want to swap it out untill you have atleast 4piece normal T16 (for single target fights. As soon as adds are involved, you swap on your highest iLvl gear or T16).
Another common question is regarding trinkets. I will list them here:
1. Thok's Tail
2. Galakras
3. Warforged (Meaning 559) Skeer's
4. Heroic Feather (if the hit is used, not if it is wasted)
5. Skeer's 553
6. Heroic Spark of Zandalari
7. Heroic Feather (if hit is wasted, not used - reforge the hit into haste)
In general you want to use Thok's regardless of it being LFR, Flex or Normal. Just upgrade it as soon as you can. Galakras LFR is probably outperformed by normal Skeer and definetly by Heroic Feather if you can utilize the hit.

I think you need to add the #showtooltip line right before any spell you /use.
tried that too,didn't work either

Also remember if you are progressing on a boss and using pulltimes, you can craft the 4piece Dreadful Holy PvP set and cast 3-4 Flash of Light to gain a free Inqusition before pull timer expires. Just macro the 2 gearsets you use and swap it on.
Krekko perhaps we could put the youtube video Drakeshi has made on the first page? I'm sure Drakeshi would not mind?
Video needs a few updates that I've been coordinating Dakeshi with. I'm going to end up linking the guide and video on my page anyhow. But 2 places can't hurt, pumping the site up never a bad thing.
Making an actual proper OP iin my thread at some point s something I've wanted to do but never got around to. Lazy to the max

In short, why? The reason for maximizing HP gains is to fit in more finishers, no?Why do you want to go to 5HP? Why not use TV at 3?: It's more beneficial to do TV at 5HP over three (situationally) because you want to keep your HP generators on cool down. This will maximize your HP gains, as well as your DPS. The times you'll want to use TV at 3 or 4 HP, are when your HP generators are on CD and you have a free GCD to use it. The point is not to just sit there!
As a general rule of thumb, if you can immediately receive and have room for HP, don't use TV! This is less the case when one has more Haste.
This is of course complete napkin maths, but after an hour on a dummy where I followed the rotation strictly I decided to try to do another hour where I simply used TV/4pc bonus/Divine Purpose Procs as soon as I could (ie at 3 hp in order to maximize the amount of procs). DPS was noticeably improved, which would seem to be in direct opposition to conventional wisdom.
Inquisition uptime was of course given priority in both cases.

Dusted off my Ret for the first time in ages!
Can I ask why most Rets are taking Sanctified Wrath over Holy Avenger atm? Is it because of the tier set bonuses or something else? Currently at a low ilvl with no tier on mine, so I should stick to Holy Avenger?
Also, how do you handle heroism with Holy Avenger and Sanctified Wrath? I haven't played in a while so I'm really rusty, but if someone could explain it would be awesome.
Thanks.
Came here to ask this, very helpful
Guess I'm not the only one who started playing his Ret then, lol.
I was wondering if doing 90-120k dps for 502 ilvl is pretty good or not.
Don't have my char min-maxed though. Elemental Force on weapon and a lvl 85 trinket <_<
How good is the Evil Eye of Galakras in general? Just got the LFR version.
