Hey Kel... how are you liking gurk HC? I've had the DS trinkets for some time and just picked up the gurk last night when it was released.
However apparently its not spawning tentacles in any raids/dungeons? I've only ever seen them out on dummies. With my current rotation, DPSing to 10 million damage or so, they seem to range anywhere from 8-10% of my total, which is pretty decent.
However, I'm still only pulling 25k (give or take 2-3k) on low training dummies. MS is low enough to stance dance, so my general rotation is charge -> rend -> CS -> OP -> MS (3 times as soon as possible for slaughter) and rinse and repeat, dropping in HS and slam when I have the extra rage...
I've however seen similarly geared ret pallies and other classes doing 35-40k+ on the same dummies... am I doing something inherently REALLY wrong that im not noticing? I'm topping charts almost exclusively during guild runs of any raid, but I still feel like it should be higher. Any suggestions?

^ Gear for reference.
Also would really like to see gurk hotfixed to spawn tentacles in raids/dungeons, between the bleeds and amount of melees we get in our rotations, we should be seeing lots of em.
I was also curious how you feel about haste now that gurk is released, is it still the same on the priority list, or do you feel like it could match mastery in terms of extra DPS (for tentacle spawns)? You think maybe my bit of lacking DPS comes from doing the 2 piece bonus from 2 different sets rather than the 4 piece from one or the other? Waiting to pick up colossal dragon hands in BH or DS, then I'm gonna toss some coins at the heroic chest to go 4/5 colossal... Maybe thatll help?

Havent tested arena's and firelands yet, but tentacle procs were ok in DS, even manged to pull morchok once with a long *** range one. Theyre also proccing in bgs, how ever i did some end times and rdf and not a single proc.
-
russellmungerGuest
Hm, maybe from last night -> today they have already been tweaked. All I know is I did 4-5 RDF hc's and didnt see a single tentacle, then on the dummy had one proc almost immediately, and then consistently thereafter.

You just described my armory. :) Im still using pvp shoulders and helm tho

Im loving the wep to be honest :) altho im pretty sure its supouse to be low proc rate on that sword aprox 2% as i have heard but i could be wrong. You should test ur dps on skull dummy (the biggest one) thats the dummy i alwayse test my real dps on :)..
Hmm you said OP before MS? isent it MS before OP?
If you see rets doing 35-40k and your not close to that you must be doing something wrong... to be honest you need to check everything of what you are doing and how your handling your rage and so on and so forth... Altho i have the AOE trinket instead of the crech just so you know. I'm not sure how gurthlac really works so you or i have to do some research about it since i think its supouse to be around this % proc.. its not supouse to spawn 7 tentacles in a row it's just based on how lucky you are to be honest.
Haste is still the lowest stat prio even if gurthlac is released in my opinion but about the mastery argument... well read my previous answer in the guide... it's debateble and i havnet tested which is better but i go with a balanced crit/mastery or at least try to get equal of them both.
About the sets i only have the DS Helmet and the firelands 4p which is the proc fiery attack and the battle shout buff... but the dragon soul 4p bonus is insane which will increase your DPS by a lot. So yeah go for the 4p t13. By the way you should get the rep ring from hyjal to be honest... i don't know why you don't have it... also try to gain shoulders, back, neck

P.S: I heard if you change zone the wep proc buggs out so maybe u should equip and re-equip the wep or relog and do the same thing... it's just a hunch :).

Thanks a bunch for the input bud. Few things:
Even if you re-equip it after zoning, the tentacles are useless (at least they were for me) tried in an RDF HC again last night and they just pop, and die 10 seconds later, really a bummer.
I watched the 25-30 minute video you posted as a "source" in your original post and figured a couple things out. I am rage dumping way too much, blasting heroic strikes outside of inner rage and then quickly becoming out of options. I have manipulated my rotating and play a bit, and saw 3-4k more DPS on the raid dummy (only buff was a titanic strength). So I can seem to push 28-30k consistently now, without running my burst cooldowns. I know that creche is another RNG to have to deal with, but when the crit rating procs off, it's a really beautiful thing.
Also the 4/5 colossal dragonplate bonus is treating me REALLY well :)
If any other warriors are reading this, here are the few things that I changed up to get the extra DPS:
My very initial round of DPS is:
Charge -> Rend -> CS -> OP -> MS, after that it's as simple as keeping up the cooldowns on OP and MS at all times, while managing my rage, only slamming at 40-50+ rage, and heroic striking at 75+.
I don't have CS macrod as a stance dance to zerker because the damage is pretty minimal anyway, its more about the debuff. That's why my initial rotation is OP before MS, basically it lets me get a quick set of Battle Stance only stuff out, and then I can move into the normal Stance Dance routine. It has been really helpful.
Gear wise, I know neck/shoulders/back are my priorities, along with the exalted FL ring. They are my only 378s left.
Cheers again for the great guide, I promote it whenever I can. And here's to hoping gurthaFACK gets fixed up ASAP :(
