DPS and Reforge help (4 replies to this topic)

Good afternoon fellow locks.  I just had a couple of questions reguarding affliction DPS and using wowreforge.com
First off I feel like my DPS is severely lacking for the gear I currently have equipped.  Please see armory link below.  I usually average between 40-50k on boss fights while other locks in raid are pulling 60k+ in similar gear.  I open with CoE, haunt, SB/SS, followed by MG as filler.  I have read numerous guides some of which say have haunt up first to get 25% bonus to dots while others say put up SB/SS on first and then haunt to make sure MG ticks the whole time haunt is up.  Does haunt apply 25% damage to dots that are already active?  I read that all dots cast take all procs and abilities active during the time of cast and that damage is applied accordingly.  And that if you get say a light weave proc you should re fresh your dots for them to get the intellect buff.  I've read so much about affliction that I am starting to confuse myself.  I'm interested to see what everyone else is doing out there and to see if I am just over thinking all of this.  

As far as the wow reforge help I just can't get the website to work for me.  I can't figure out how to apply the stat weights to figure out how I need to reforge my gear.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you and happy hunting.

With this gear lvl i would recommended:

15% hit > 3056 haste > mastery > haste > crit


When you reaches around 475 o change it to:

15% > 4717 haste > mastery > haste > crit

Ok so should i reforge out of haste until I'm hit capped ensuring I don't go below 3056 haste threshold?

Thanks

You should consider, that Expertise affects your hit too.
