Take another glance at your log, you are number 4 on boss damage compared to the warrior and warlock, that doesn't has as much boss damage but just more AoE.
- This is what really matters anyway during progression. Putting most damage on important targets and especially on Operator, it's very good to have decent boss damage while keeping up with the AoE as you did since the encounter has a nasty enrage timer.
Do not save CD for something that is unimportant. If the 'huge pack of adds' on Operator dies extremely fast as you did, since you have a demo wlock+warrior and if you haven't been specifically assigned to make certain that they die quickly then do not save a CD for it, it's completely unimportant to you, if it's already being handled by someone else. Use your CDs on the boss or other important targets, that you are meant to kill. Like Man at Arms/Firemender, use your CDs on those instead, time your CDs with them, spend ur second pot on them if needed to get through progression.
During progression, nobody cares about how 'big' your DPS is, it doesn't matter that you did 20m to Pack Beasts on Beastlord but only like 2m on the boss himself. It's not going to kill the boss by killing pack beasts. If you weren't specifically assigned to take care of those pack beasts then you need to have more boss damage and less add damage.
DPS distribution is the most important factor of downing hard encounters. It doesn't matter how 'good' you look on logs if it's not going to kill the boss anyway, it all matters about killing the bosses in the end, that's why we raid, to kill the bosses, not to look good on warcraftlogs, Skada, Recount w/e.
