There's nothing odd about it. Your gems, your enchants, and your spec is wrong wrong wrong. You really need to do some research about your character. There's so much you need to change right now, I'd have a hard time knowing where to start.





Heck, I try a little bit to get you pointed in the right direction.
  1. Where you have crit gems or enchants, these should be haste or SP. Try to use a gem that is mixed haste/sp over one with just haste, and use runed where you can.
  2. Follow the 3/13/55 or 0/13/58 Destro specs.
  3. Get a head enchant.
  4. Switch the enchant on your gloves from crit to sp.
  5. You need 289 hit or 370 hit depending on which spec you go with if you have an SPriest in your group.
  6. Your priority for stats should be SP>Haste>Crit
  7. Lose the immolate glyph and get the one for incinerate.
  8. Take Corruption out of your rotation and only use it if you are on the move and cannot cast anything else.
  9. Also, are you keeping your Lifetap glyph up in during your rotation?
Hopefully this helps, but you have a long ways to go.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't see your Primary spec at first. That is actually the correct spec to go with. You had your secondary active.

You get the Lifetap buff each time you cast Lifetap for 40 seconds. You should try to keep that buff active meaning casting Lifetap even if you have full mana because it adds like in my case 197 SP. It will be lower for your gear, but it does add a lot of SP which does make a difference. I have my Lifetap hotkeyed and macroed so if I am full mana I use rank 1 for the buff or highest rank if I really need the mana.

i have one last ? if you dont mind the reason i use corr in my rotation is the short time its takes conf to pop up. it leaves just nuff time to cast a corr with no rotation slows. what should i do instead?

I also try to do the same thing sometimes if my Conflag is not on cooldown and waiting for it to come up after an Immolate. But don't get too carried away in trying to keep Corruption constantly over your other Destro spells. And definately don't clip your corruption trying to fit it in. It'd just be better to wait that half second to hit Conflag.
