Goto maxdps.com and play with the different spell rotations. I did this and improved my dps ALOT.

If you're raiding I would think you would want the standard 0/21/40 build. Also, at least in your current armory profile, you only have 70 spell hit? That is gimping your DPS majorly. Work that up to 202 asap.

Honestly your best bet until then is probably to respec Affliction because your shadow damage is fairly low, too.

As far as rotation, I think on trash just CoS>SB spam.

In another post i just posted my tatics as a destruction warlock in Kara. Unless its curator I am always using curse of Shadow. Check out my post. The Warlocks Den Forums - View Single Post - so about killing the puppy...

I am also struggling Can anyone help? I am a level 70 Warlock in MH and BT and am wondering if there is any way I can increase my dps. I am starting to fall behind the arcane mages now and really would like to keep up with them. I am 0/21/40 and sac my pet for the damage buff. I normally try to put up Curse of Agony because I have other locks running CoS then i just spam Shadow bolts and pop trinkets and rinse and repeat.
My armory link The World of Warcraft Armory

I am hit capped and am around 1500 shadow damage fully buffed. Any suggustions?

Use a spreadsheet to max min, maxdps is a decent site but it really has some major flaws with various models etc.

I'm at roughly the same gear level as you, Mocnor, probably slightly lower, what do you substitute to get the 202 hit cap? i could see maybe scryer bloodgem for the xiri's gift, but what else? That swap alone won't get it done.

[Mocnor]

I could replace the Bloodgem with the Icon of the Siver Cresent but then i would lose 32 hit so im not too sure if that would benefit me atm.

Your armory has you at 147 spell hit, which is well short of the 202 hit cap at the moment (Hit cap is different for warlocks than it is for some other classes). I'm not sure if that's the gear you usually roll to 25 mans with or not, but if so, your DPS on bosses is suffering because you're 65 hit short of the cap. If this is just gear you wear for trash, and then you switch to a more appropriate setup for bosses (i wear xiri's gift about 90% of the time and switch to bloodgem to give me the 202 spell hit cap for bosses only), then next time you log out, do it in your boss setup and i'll check armory again.
