Hey,
I just wanted to say thanx for posting this, cause I tell you what, I was really struggling with my dps.
I had all of the 232/245 Triumph Emblem gear and most of the enchants and jems that you listed but I was barely putting out 2000 dps.
After changing 2 jems and replacing the 18 spirit boot enchant, reverting back to the Icewalker which I origanally had
I am happy to say that we ran ICC 10m, and i was avg about 3500-3600 topping out at 3860 at one point.
What really made the difference is the order I was putting my DoTs up, and i was using Weapons that brought my Haste up above 500 so I scaled that back down to a little over 300haste.

You are very welcome. I am glad to see someone using the information that I put up. I am also equally pleased to see that you are continuing to grind out and min/max a shadow priest, lately we got some love from Blizzard but that hasn’t been the case in the past.
The rotation for dps we have is very unforgiving. If you miss a dot or clip a cast short it will take from your numbers and in a long fight your mana will suffer if you do it to often. But, when all things align, it is a face melting free for all!!!
Very nice site! is it yours too
