With the new ability Queue system, it should be easier to hit 99%+ uptime during boss fights. train yourself to cast an instant (moonfire in the case of a boomkin) every single time your character has to move. You see people haggling over a 1-2% dps increase here or there all the time, but if you aren't casting a damaging spell 100% of the time during a boss fight then nothing else is going to give you a bigger return on your damage than simply casting more spells.<br /><br />...that sort of spiraled out of control... sorry ;-) Wanted to plug my new blog too if that's ok...Gaiahttp://10manraiding.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
