Re: So I caved and i'm back said by blackthought: I got into a 1v1 situation with a boomkin on the beach, after about 3-4 minutes of neither one of us really getting anywhere I decided to just run towards the rest of the fight which was at yellow. I literally ran from the beach all teh way to yellow with the boomkin firing on me.
Where is slam right now too in terms of rotation? And am i right that we're stacking hit to 7.5%, expertise to 7.5% then crit>strength?
I'm sure your team was on offense when fighting the Boomkin, otherwise you of course would have just used the portal to yellow instead of running all the way. 
Slam now hits like a truck and you may have noticed is instant cast, while post-nerf HS hits like a wand. All things being equal, Slam should always take priority over HS in the PvP “rotation” since they both cost the same amount of rage (30). However, HS is on a separate GCD, so if you have rage to spare, it’s great to tandem with other attacks.
The 7.5% hit/7.5% expertise is only for PVE so you are consistently landing attacks on raid level bosses 3 levels above yours. For PvP, hit cap is only 3% (at level 90), while expertise minimum is 3%. I like to stack a bit more expertise though, just because I hate the tin can sound of being parried. For stat priorities, gems, enchants, etc., you can check out www.noxxic.com for a comprehensive overview, but in a nutshell it's PvP Power>Strength (although it should be balanced somewhat, but that's a whole different discussion and dissection) >Resil>Crit>Haste>Mastery
Edit: HS should be used over Slam, if Taste for Blood stacks to 2 or more and is about to fall off. I find that it doesn't proc all that often though, and the timing is seldom right in a dynamic PvP environment. |

| i did pepper slam in more than HS because I saw the % tool tip was higher for slam, didn't realize the Taste for blood thing though. I can see that being sick for pve not so much pvp.
Yeah we were on offense:) It was one of those things where I swaped specs on the boat so got a late start then got man handled somewhere after the first gates and we hadn't capped the GY's yet so i had to start all over. Me and the boomkin were solo on the beach.
oh and wth is pvp power? do we get a bump or something?

pvp power only affects abilities used against other players, pvp resilience is the same only against other players. |
