i dont know how many of you, are actually in beta, but any specc without Convection, you will be shooting yourself in the foot.
I've been raiding in beta since they opened the raids, changed speccs so many times i lost count.
with last beta build, im with this

Acuity - 2/3 - and possible will be 0/3 as we progress on raid tiers, the 2 points used were to compensate for my reforging, basically i trade the 2% crit from this talent for mastery.
Elemental Warding helps tons on heroics, especially the healers, theres so much AoE damage in so many fights, its a good talent to take.
EQ is useless theres no other way to put it.
On-topic:
Searing Totem AI is horrible, the ammount of wipes it caused in Heroic Dark council fight is unbelivable, when i found out it was ST causing i was really pissed, mainly cause he doesnt stop attacking the first target inflicted with the DoT, and when the golems get the shield u need to stop attacking them or they get buffed up, i switch my target normally but ST sticks with the same golem until its duration is over.
theres was a few solution i used to fix it:
- recast it when u change target
- cast Flametounge instead
- dont cast fire totem at all
i went for last option, in the end, as we had a Demo lock in the raid, as i cant be arsed babysitting a totem.
