Also starting AOEing a bit more. Fun to see the numbers climb. :D

FYI: I do flask and food buff. Still praying for the shoulders...
3095 is decent for your gear point, but you could be doing better. Make sure you aren't clipping your dots and you are maintaining your full rotation while draining <25%. My tips on your gear:

*Icewalker on those boots. Your hit is horrible (thats ok, your gear is @ lower levels). Remember: +Hit is the highest point for point DPS boost VS all other stats until you are capped (289 with shadow priest / boomkin...lower if you have a squid-face in your party)

*Gems - I would even regem for hit until you get to cap.

*Heroic badge OH is near BiS until your gear can support no hit from your OH, or until you get Surplus Limb from Patch.

*Shoulder enchant. Get that Hodir rep up. Remember: exalted Scryer / Aldor shoulder enchants are = Hodir honored.

The World of Warcraft Armory
Note: I haven't seen a WWS report, so I don't know what your raid comp is, so only going off of what I see from your Armory page.

Froob, first, your gear is good (better than mine, in the fact that I have yet to see -That- sword drop. )

I'm not at all a master at affliction by any means, but a few things I can point out...

25man hit cap is 263, for alliance, at least. (If Boomkin with IFF or shadow priest are present with a draenei in your group.)
What's the Hit cap Mr. Wolf? ) My favorite post.

Socket and enchant nothing but spell power on gloves / wrists / weapon / shoulder / helm. Spirit on chest, imo. Ember Skyflare for your Meta. Ignore socket bonuses.

Do not overlook Haste Rating. Try to balance haste with spell power. (On Gear, not gems.)

Try to get a spec with maxed out Cataclysm. Being this close to the patch, I wouldn't much worry about your Talent spec, unless you are raiding tonight, or something. Try dropping a point from Fel Con and one from Eradication, 1 point is all that is needed in Eradication, honestly. (Good call grabbing one point in molten core) The rest is your call, I took one point out and made 4/5 Imp Shadow Bolt, with 1 point in amplify curse, just for a very small dps increase. Since your crit chance on a mob in a raid is usually going to be 5% higher than listed in your stats due to debuffs.

If I am wrong in any of this, let me know, I'm always up to learn something.

What Glyphs are you using, if I may ask?
