Dungeons are hardly any real indicator. Some classes work better in short fights. Warlocks have few "passive" AoE stuff, so that might inflate number on those adds.
Also maybe you have to drop MB from rotation, check out conditions for when you should do that.
Also, your haste and crit are lover than should be with your amount of GS. Maybe you have way to much of healing gear with spirit stat?
MB is used only when you don't have T10x4 set, and you also need to use 25% crit bonus spell from Discipline talents to aply SWP for maximum dmg cuz it will be constantly refreshed and have this additional 25% crit chance for long period of time

This isn't true. I don't know if you believe this or not, but it's not true. Please don't spread it to beginners. Inner Focus is insignificant on long fights (because it doesn't work the way you stated), and for shorter fights, it's better used on Mind Blast, Mind Flay or even a Shadow Word: Death.

Oh, it does work exactly as i said. Or i need to make 7 minute video of me Mind Flaying + SWP with and without Inner Focus?
So 3 minutes of SWP dealing dmg with and without Inner Focus, no buffs affecting me, no procs increasing crit on my gear. Refreshing it at 2 second mark and spamming wand to not drop from combat and keep tracking as one piece.
Final results are visible in skada at end of video - Inner Focus does provide total crit increase.
I have the Inner Focus talent from Disc Tree. I have been using it wrong I suspect. I also have improved MB talent here let me just link to Armory. I have JC on alt and can re-Gem anything.

You lose the crit from Inner Focus the exact moment you Flay, because that refreshes the SW:P, at which point you lose the crit value from Inner Focus. I'll show you with your own video.
A little difficult, since you didn't open your combat log panel.
Non-crit ticks at the following marks;
0:29
0:35
0:38
0:41
0:44
0:47
0:50
.... I could keep going, but I think that should be enough to make my point. Inner Focus does NOT make your Shadow Word: Pain permanently crit after the initial refresh. If you can't see that in your own practice and in watching your own video, then I don't know what to tell you.
But hey, it's not like I've been playing the class for over a decade or anything.

So long as I keep SWP up its the "same" cast and gets that 25% buff. Interesting.
You don't have your Tier 10 4-piece set bonus, so you will want to keep your Mind Blast talent and continue to use it. I don't use Inner Focus. It's greatest use is for adding crit to emergency Divine Hymns. If that isn't something you see yourself doing for a raid at any point, then I'd advise dropping the talent entirely. Take that point and put it into Misery. Not having a full 3/3 on that is not just bad for you, but it's bad for the groups you're supposed to be providing that buff to. You're also missing out on Mind Blast and Flay damage because of it as well.
If inner focus only benefited first applycation of SWP and was removed after refresh, than difference wouldn't be 10% in such long run. YouTube allows me to upload only 15min videos at max, so i think it will be better to check it out for themselves. But IF for sure doesn't give raw 25% for it or it would be way to OP)
But in the vid his crit chance was increased by about 10% on SWP. Which is 25% of his ~40% crit chance he gets without Focus.
How is it supposed to work
10% isn't 25%.
How is it supposed to work? I thought I already covered this. Didn't you read my previous posts? It doesn't, and if by some bug that it does, it SHOULDN'T.

"long run"
I don't see a few minutes as enough iterations to be irrefutable proof of it. Especially with the discrepancy of crit values, where it should be 25%, not 10%. For all I know, you got lucky with crits, but not as "lucky" as you should've been (15% is a lot, moreso than the "lucky" 10%). So I would say it requires further testing, of which I will do some myself. However, I do believe you missed my point. It should not be working in the way that you claim, and if it is, it is an exploit which - AS I SAID IN A PRIOR POST - you should NOT be spreading around, especially to new players. Especially considering that if it does work this way currently, and it gets fixed, all of these noobs are going to cry that they lost dps.
Well, ok. Thing is, forum is broken on my PC and trying to do long post on mobile phone is suicide.
BTW, not spreading of exploit, just attempt to work around game tools. Real exploit would be if Bladestorm of Awarr was consuming one charge of Recklessness for all 6 WW instead of 1 per swing)
That's about the same results I got Ohie. Increased crit value over character sheet values, and it doesn't change with Inner Focus. Which 6% comes from Mind Melt, but I'm unsure as to where the other 4% comes from. Which.... it may be benefitting from both parts of Mind Melt, as that's the only talent that has any critical effect of 4% in any component of it.
