On trash I get about 1700 dps, and on test dummies I can get like 2500 dps, but I never actually pull that off in raids for some reason.

Gear: I need to do some re-gemming to get hit capped again, but besides that, is there anything you guys can think of of the top of your head that would be an easy get and a big help? (working on the Argent Tournament sword)

Spec: I know destro is usually better for dps, but I heard that demo is better until you get pretty good gear (I was in full heroics when I specced) Is my gear now good enough to get good benefit out of destro? Any other thought would also be very appreciated

Rotation: for trash, I usually just shadowflame and RoF. For bosses I go

Switch to destro, your gear is fine.

make you read some of the destro rotation threads so you optimize it.

your gemming could use some help.

Helm:
The meta gem in your helm should be Chaotic Skyflare Diamond

The blue gem should be replaced with Runed Cardinal Ruby

You basically don't care about socket bonuses unless they're hit or spellpower, so for things like int, stam, etc, just gem a runed cardinal ruby or possibly one of the yellows for hit.

You're missing the icewalker enchant on your boots.

You're missing the major spirit enchant on your chest.

You're missing the eternal belt buckle on your belt.

Also, save up your emblems of conquest so you can get the conqueror's deathbringer robe and the 2pT8.5 set bonus of +10% to you immo damage, which will up your DPS by quite a bit when used with conflag.

hope this helps!

3.2 Re: I need help with my DPS - Thread #2 (Post Patch 3.1)

I have a bit of a question. I recently spec'd destruction. I noticed I have a much easier time keeping a sustained damage output than affliction, but its a bit too spammy for my tastes, so to say. Anyway....

I have looked around for posts that list rotations past the beginning. I noticed some people say use spells as they drop off cool down, and make sure to keep immolate up. My question, after the first set of casts, how do I handle conflag and cb. After the first set of incineration spams, I notice conflag comes off cooldown with enough time for me to get off one incinerate, then I have to reapply immolate. Should I hold off on using conflag till I refresh immolate?

Also, should I use cb everytime it is off cooldown, or should I save it for conflag, since it has a longer cast time than incinerate? Or should I burn it as soon as it pops, and look at times when i can cast it while conflag is up as icing on the cake?

My biggest issue is not knowing if I should use conflag and cb on cool down, or if I should do something like save cb if conflag is 2 incinerates from being off cooldown, or if I should just burn cb then, and not worry about saving it for those 2 casts of incinerate. Also, do I burn cb if immolate needs reapplying, or is it just conflag that I have to worry about that with?

There is plenty of info on this forum about beginning rotations, but nowhere near as much help on prolonged rotation use. Any help would be appreciated.

So, this is me. I realize my gear is not great but my dps is truly appalling. I did 1300-1400 if HVH today then only 850 in H Old Kingdom. Sickening! my rotation is Curse of Agony, Corruption, Immolate, Incinerate, Chaos Bolt, Spam Incinerate and Conflag.
My lock is my only 80 and I really want to be awesome, please any and all advice is truly needed!
