thats what the reforge plot is for. it shows you what amount of change you have to do to get some dps increase.

I ask because I get a different result for advol^^ same for ets.
advol is 92494 dps with ratings haste 1.50 > mastery 1.39 > crit 1.29
ets is 11082 dps with rating mastery 1.53 > crit 1.42 > haste 1.33
used patchwork style, 10000 iterations and overrides with
tier14_2pc_caster=1
tier14_4pc_caster=1
to include set bonus
simcraft 510-9
edit: ok advol seems to reforged between your and my sim, ets ratings are equal to your sims (with some minor delta).

well for me it is now 92421 dps with haste 1.55 > crit 1.39 = mastery 1.31
simed it twice, rating were a little bit different but priority keeps the same. might try higher iteration number
you should try simming it fo yourself and print reforge plot. you switched from heavy mastery to heavy haste but if you look at the graphs haste and mastery are fairly equal sometimes haste is on top sometimes mastery.so you should reforge in small steps and check what results you get.
for me everything should be relative equal http://eu.battle.net/wow/de/characte...ebria/advanced
not sure if it is the best solution but I thougt eb is giving me haste crit or mastery so this is perfect and on some bosses I switch to elemental where haste is better but for add fights I use eb where mastery is better. as we started with hm recently this might change not sure.
and of course this was patchwork style but in reallity we don't have this. not sure what mode fits best here. heared they are rather perfect, any advice is welcome

Advol: 93849 dps
1.58haste > 1.37mas > 1.29crit
Now, what this means is that your actual highest potential DPS is in between the two. You want more mastery than you had before, but less mastery than a full switch gives you.

And, of course, the easiest solution is to just switch to PE (like me ), go haste all the time , and never have to worry about all of this. LOL.

Yep, EB is theoretically better on patchwerk with perfect rotation maintenance, which is why everyone uses it. But it's like Arcane vs. Frost for mages. Frost is great and shines in certain circumstances, but because it's just barely lower in theory, everyone goes arcane anyway. PE is unquestionably better on fights with lots of movement and anything with a burn phase, and it's way easier.
Nope. You let them attack. You have to do an inordinate amount of damage for your increase to outweigh the elemental's DPS. Something like 800k DPS, if I remember correctly. If I'm really worried about taking damage on a phase (like the final phase on H empress) I'll sometimes channel the earth ele buff, but I turn it off once I'm safe. I have a macro that, when clicked once, summons the earth ele and, when clicked twice, triggers his buff.
As far as the glyph goes, I'm guessing it can be useful in instances where the 3 minute CD lines up better with certain burn phases, but I haven't bothered to figure out which fights that would be.

Dear Vana,
I'm still waiting on my babies.
Yours Truly,

I grew up in the era where you had to go to channel 3 to play video games.
I am very thankful for this thread, I have been going nuts thinking I was doing something wrong.
The first few weeks of the xpac I blindly reforged haste all the way thinking it was the way to do things however, just after xmas I ran some sims for my char (dont do it often) resulting in mastery > crit=haste (crit slightly better but nothing in it really). With this I went at the dummy for a good hour trying some different reforges and everytime mastery returning the higher dps, and with crit=haste virtually equal. It is also now unsurprising my raid dps has improved.
When they say sim your char guys, really sim it
(forgot to add, eote/EB)
Keeping everyone happy is impossible.
I know I fail for asking this, but what is the final conclusion...I read almost every post but I have close to no clue how simcraft works. At what point does Mastery overlap haste if it ever does?
And should I take EP or EB with said stats?
I'm not rich enough to reforge/gem all stats so I can't just go and test it :<
