Common mistake and misconception about Arms Warrior PVE
Let start by assuming everyone knows that the arms PVE rotation is simple as just:
(Repeat) Auto, Slam, MS, Auto, Slam, WW, Auto, Slam, MS, Auto, Slam, Free GCD (Repeat)
1. Slam should always be the top damage percentage
The first most common mistake did by most arms warrior is just they never follow the rotation
If you have a slam always follows after the auto, counting by critical multiplier, glancing and even ability calculation, there is no way that you can have auto damage higher than slam overall in fight.
2. DST is just the most horrible choice of trinket for Arms Warrior
If you find a DST in an Arms Warrior, unless he don't even have Bloodlust Brooch from BOJ vendor, you knows that he don't know how to play the spec. (Which I doubt you get DST before it.)
The above two points is the easiest fact that you can know if the guy know how to play Arms.
Basic Improvement:
1. Never overuse Heroic Strike, it is the most risky ability in the rotation but yield only a few gain.
2. Never reset auto timer after 0.5s with slam.
3. During fast swing speed, understand when slam should be used in the rotation. Don't just simply use Heroic Strike during lust.
4. The ability ratio of Slam-MS-WW, should always be 4-2-1. If your number is not close to it, you have done something wrong during your rotation.
5. Never use execute unless the boss die before the next auto, over 60 rage and your MS is on CD.

Second Run DPS: 2210 (https://i.imgur.com/ElrHi2C.jpg ) (Playing Shadus Warrior in raid for some reason)
Should be around 2200, however I get burn and stayed defensive stance for 15s. Unlucky.
Those are the DPS that Arms should be capable of and aiming for.
Surely, the DPS while farming BT is not important.
However, the DPS requirement in Sunwell will be higher and many should prepare for it.
