Yeah I was testing out Rage spec yesterday and noticed as well that the rotation in the OP doesn't actually work. The highest parse seems to use the following rotation instead: (Enrage) Raging Burst -> Force Crush -> Ravage -> Furious Strike -> {% dependent, see below} -> Chilling Scream -> Obliterate Raging Burst -> Sundering Assault -> Force Scream -> Furious Strike -> Chilling Scream -> Obliterate % dependent block is either Vicious Throw if procced/below 30% OR Retaliation I don't know enough about the spec yet to know if this is optimal, but I did test the rotation yesterday and it seems to work out fairly smoothly.

DAMMIT! Thanks

Sorry for my ignorance folks, but can anyone clarify why the crit numbers don't match up to the OP for given chunks of gear? Specifically I've been looking at gear level 230, everything else matches except crit. For example, Engineering sniper shows 1447 crit rating via 7 Enh and 2 crystals. 230 Enh has 181 crit, crystals still have 41 crit. 181*7 = 1267 . 2 * 41 = 82. 1267 + 82 = 1349 crit Can anyone inform me what I'm missing here? It's probably something obvious, thanks!

For a true straight dps test that will be more independent of specific fight mechanics, use the training dummies. On Ziost Shadow Bridge deck there is a training area with a few different types of dummies. Working on the strong one + the MOX combat log parser I was able to obtain a consistent 1530~ dps. Parsing the new raid last night certainly showed that some fights ended up lower than that (toth + zorn), but some were close to equivalent (colonel varganth)

I think a bigger issue here is people who get booted from your servers under circumstances which are your fault... yet they have to requeue for this. That is quite unacceptable, frankly.
