Theorycrafting - DPS
Yesterday I went with this blood spec:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=jfVMVh0IsbRtzAoG0x0hZfM
In raid and did some sessions at the boss dummy in ebon hold.
My dps was 2230 on the dummy using only horn of winter, and around 3.1k on raid bosses with raid buffs.
As it is right now I see this build as sub-optimal for raiding, this is the second time I've tried this one and yet again it is just big numbers but not big dps.
The next patch changes heart-strike abit, which gives it way more aoe, since it will hit 2 targets.
Damage distribution(aprox), singletarget:
Melee(auto-attack): 27%
Heart strike: 27%
Obliterate: 13%
Death-coil: 11%
Icy touch: 6%
Frost fever: 5%
Blood plague: 4%
Plague strike: 3.3%
Other procs: rest

Re: Theorycrafting - DPS
Denatus, this seems to be the usual Blood dps spec suggested: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=jfVMqh0IsbRxzAoZfM0htco
People also say that Epidemic is wasted since you refresh your diseases in every rotation, so there's alot of room to change in unholy tree. Also DRW or Gargoyle is personal preference.

Re: Theorycrafting - DPS
How was your damage done (as opposed to dps) though?
I don't really understand how that is possible, but while my dps was in the lower half yesterday, the damage done was floating around top 5.
I'm starting to think that testing dps on dummies sort of misses the point - what would be more informative, is to compare damage done over a given period of time.

Re: Theorycrafting - DPS
I personally dont like the dummies at all. There's a huge difference between the dps you do on them and in raids. Some important factors are for example hit rating, which we usually get buffs for in raids, and other raidbuffs/group setup. I have tested different specc variations that have done better on dummies, but far worse in raids, so i dont trust them anymore;)
