To the priority I listed, I now definitely add Concussion Blow and Shockwave every time they're up, plus good ol' Heroic Strike spam. I ran WWS for a Heroic Utgarde Keep run as requested by a guildie, and did 1.800 DPS on the second boss. You can provide a nice chunk of DPS if played correctly. On average, I am between 1.2k to 1.4k DPS in heroics. That’s an old post by now, so I should probably rework it sometime.

I have absolutely zero reason to switch to a 'leveling' build now as I can do more than just fine DPS when solo. Glad to hear you were happy to use some of the info here. :) I actually had to eat my words, in my last ZA run our DPS went so AoE crazy that I ended up 7th like back in the day, though only like 50k damage behind one of the mages.

I recently went back to my warrior after leveling up yet another priest and I made the decision to return to her Protection roots over her previous Fury build. Even though she's in her mid-50s, I've been doing surprisingly well with damage and a lot of it is from this little guide. It made a lot of it easier for me, especially after not having tanked in almost a year! I had a lot of fun soloing in the Eastern Plaguelands this past weekend. I saw a Beast Mastery hunter fighting the same mobs as I was and I decided to try a little internal competition. I was giggling when I realized that I was grabbing large groups of mobs and downing them quicker than this hunter and his pet could. I was even killing quicker on <i>single</i> targets, which seemed like an anathema to me! I just wanted to chime in and say thanks for this post!

The numbers in the screenshots are Mik's Scrolling Battle Text, as damage and DPS meter I currently use Recount. You mean the numbers you can see in the screenshots or a damage meter?

A lot depends on how frantic the pulls get. If we mess up then my DPS goes WAY up with all the AOE. Just a question what is the plug in you are using to track damage?

Its okay I'm quite content with my dps on my prot warrior although it tops out at 600 dps I still can hit 2200 dps with my mage XD My computer should be able to handle it, its only about 2 or 3 months old and it was mostly top end stuff.
