Hi Community,
I am seeking some help and assistance and I am hoping you can offer both to me. My post is specifically regarding Protection Spec Paladin and the amount of DPS compared with other tanks that I have tanked alongside. I have only ever tanked alongside a Feral, A Death Knight and a Monk. I figure that I must be doing something wrong or I am missing something fundamentally wrong with the priority system as I find that on the majority of encounters I am a good 20-30% behind in damage.
I want to focus on some of the generic fights like “Emperor’s Heroic” and “Blade Lord Heroic” as both tanks are doing the relatively the same job for the same amount of time – so in my opinion they are excellent fights to compare with.
Unfortunately our guilds World of Logs are private so instead I will link some of the results from there and also link my priority system in a hope that you guys could help me obtain more comparable DPS.
My Character on Armoury: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...s%20Edge/Prid/
Priority: Hit (To Cap) - Expertise (Soft Cap) - Haste/Mastery – Dodge/Parry – Stamina – Crit
DPS Priority: HotR (To keep debuff up) > CS > Judgement > AS > Cons > HW – SotR used when damage is incoming (i.e. During the Melee Swings on Emperors) or if no specific use time just use on cooldown.
The majority of time I am using Seal of Truth however some encounters I am switching to Seal of Insight (However, we’re focusing on when I am using Seal of Truth – As I don’t expect my damage output to be anywhere near the same if I am doing 50K HPS).
Emperors Heroic: - Fight was completed and lasted a total of 9mins 38seconds.
Me: 76415.3 DPS (Total Damage 41,922,260) – Active Time – 548.6s
Monk: 106818.0 DPS (Total Damage 54,422,402) – Active Time – 509.5s

I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions if there are things I can improve on. Am I doing anything drastically wrong or is it just the mechanics don’t allow me to spam the buttons unlike a Monk (If that’s even possible). Is it were just not balanced DPS wise since the SoT change? Appriciate your time.
Kind Regards
Prid

Sorry I forgot to link the other fight - If those results from the other fight would be helpful then please let me know and I can add them to the post - Although the wall of text appears big enough at the moment
