Re: malediction/ruin?

I've been switching specs a lot lately. So that's why my armory shows that. Personally, I realize that I could do more as Destro, easily could have topped the other Destro Locks in that guild as the most DPS they were putting out was 1200-1400. I have easily put out more than that, and they "outgear" me, though they appear to be gemmed wrong, and a few other mistakes on enchants. Even as Meldiction/Ruin, I was top 5-10 in most fights, and 3 on one attempt. However, they still made me go affliction for their raids, when they already had another Affliction Lock, in the raid.

I had gone Felguard spec the other night, as I was helping a friends guild in SSC, as they had no Leo tank. Basically though, that guild was stupid. Bringing 2 Aff locks to BT, and the other Destro locks were not performing as well as they should have been in that content IMO. Yet they refused to let me go Destro, as according the them, the Min stats for Destro are 1300 +Shadow, 28-30% Crit, and Hit Capped of course.

We spent 2 hours wiping on RoS, getting it to Phase 3 on all but 1-2 attempts, and usually in the 5%-10% range. When I mentioned that we don't really need two Aff locks and I could go back Destro, they said that I don't have the stats for it, and would lose most of my DPS. Which is funny, cause I've been Destro, and on most T5 fights, I get in the 1700-1900 range if they are stand and nukes, which RoS seemed pretty close to one to me. Yet they told me that's impossible with my gear, lol.

Anyway, I ended up leaving the guild and am back in a guild that is just breaking into 25-man content again, so I am back to Felguard build as it's just fun in Kara/Gruul/Mag, and allows me to tank Leo w/o having to re-spec when we get there.
