Serious Infractions (things players in my guild would kick people out of pugs for)
Shoulder not enchanted (200 agi, 100 crit rating)
Cloak not enchanted (180 secondary stat)
Chest not enchanted (80 agi, 80 str)
Bracers not enchanted (180 agi)
No Belt Buckle (160 agi or 320 haste)
Doesn't know how to gem/has no gem plan (even having the wrong plan is better than having no plan, evidence - Chest, Red/Yellow gemmed with Delicate (160 agi) and Quick (320 haste), this should either be Delicate/Deft, or Deft/Quick depending on if his gear shows 1 agility or 2 haste to be more valuable)
Over the hit cap by more than the competent reforging level (up to 435 points in secondary stats used suboptimally)
Over the expertise cap by way more than the competent reforging level (up to 754 points in secondary stats completely lost)
Missing Synapse Springs (average 320 agi lost)
Less Serious Infractions (things people in my guild would grudgingly accept into pugs)
Green Leg Enchant on a Normal Mode Epic (115 agi 65 crit)
No Belt Tinker
Windsong instead of Dancing Steel on Normal Mode Epics
Mining as a profession on a raiding DPS toon (320 agi loss)
Matching suboptimal socket bonuses (in this case expertise is fine to match if he is reforging properly but he isn't)
Blurred Speed to Boots (not sure if this is wrong, would have to check shadowcraft for the relative weight of agility and yellow hit at his gear level to tell if 175 hit + reforging would be better than blurred speed)
Only used buff food once in 9 pulls (25 agility lost on one pull because he used 275 food, 300 lost on the other 8 pulls)
Did not use a flask (1000 agi lost)
Only used potion once in 9 pulls (238 agi on average over a 7 minute pull each time one is not used)
Did not pre-pot (238 agi on average over a 7 minute pull each time one is not used)
Not using glyph of sprint for movement intensive fights (speculation on my part)
Using the Tricks of the Trade Glyph and not buffing his fellow players (worth 2550 DPS if used on cooldown on your warlock who was the top DPS in that WoL)
Estimated Missing Stats:
3331 Agility
80 Strength
165 Crit
1189 Misc Secondary stats (i.e. haste)
plus whatever he can optimize out of fixing his gems, and the difference between Windsong x2 and Dancing Steel x2
As mentioned his world of logs shows abysmal Slice and Dice and Revealing Strike uptime, so there are some rotational things he could probably change as well.
