It doesn't tell you the things that do matter: Your ability to execute and your ability to keep up your DoT 'rotation'. I was emphasizing that everything else detailed in the guide is far more important in determining your ability to play your lock. Having 4k DPS means nothing if you can't stay alive to Flame Wall. Having 4k DPS also means nothing if you're wearing gear that should enable you to push out over 5k. The whole point of analyzing an WWS report is to see beyond this number.

About the Spell Hit to Spell Damage statement: No, they're not exactly the same. But did I say they were? I said they were worth about the same, enough so that if you min/max it is very possible to not be at hit cap, especially at an earlier Naxx gear level. (Think about it this way. Would you choose a piece with +30 hit over a piece with +45 SP? You shouldn't be.)

And I continued reading...

That was all I was asking for.
