Thank you for the guide. Even with my non-affliction build, the damage information is great.

Great info.

Should +damage trinkets be timed for high-priority spells? Is it worthwhile to use the +damage on DoTs with the higher damage per cast time and lower coefficient or to use it when you are starting 3 shadowbolts where you only get the 3 and some DoT refresh but the full coefficient?

Affliction spec - yes, Immolate has higher DPCT than SB which is why you use it.

0/21/40 Your immolate will DECREASE your dps by nearly 20 points.

Affliction spec cast sequence:
Curse then UA + SL (2 spells on 1 GCD) then Immolate + Corr (2 spells on 1 GCD) + SB and refresh as necessary, stick to doing immolate + corr together, always.

The rule of the thumb for affliction spell rotation is Refresh the dots 0.5-1.5 seconds after they expire. If you have a more than 2 seconds gap between the dots - /wrist

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Casting Priority Based on Damage per Second of Cast Time

Curse of X
Corruption
Unstable Affliction
Siphon Life
Immolate
Shadowburn
Shadow Bolt
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Not bad! :D like the thread. But i wonder, isnt it better to use UA before corruption, because of the global cd.
