I think starfire is best to begin with coz of its long casting time, so if its a mob that I don't rape with 2-4 starfires i use almost same as u:

Starfire->FaerieFire->InsectSwarm->MoonFire->Wrath/Starfire

And i do know about IS but i dont have that talent build in, cause my dps have been increased since i removed it and used points in Owlkin Frenzy instead.

Been trying several specs and done several tryes on dummy and calculated my average dps. Im tired of trying to improve my dps when its going the opposit direction.

I have no idea how iu get passed 3800 dps unbuffed on dummy. I have been reading way to many forums and done exactly as people say, but i still lack dps improvements. Im standing in front of a dummy in IF each day and doing my lunar rotation, and only 1 time i reached 4k dps. During my last raid in Totc25 Hc i was at 3400 dps. Im kind a lost, and im not sure what to do anylonger. Im hitcapped, soft capped in haste, and having 30%+ crit. Using Squawk and Awe addon for timers – And yet it seems like there is no improvement – I actually lost 300 dps when i started use the SaA..

I start with MF, Wrath until eclipse and then spam SF during eclipse, keep spamming SF while the Cd is running. About 3 secs before CD ends i refresh MF and start spammin wrath til eclipse for SF..

This is the funny part. I've seen moonkins with crappy spec and gear out dps me. I hate this, and i cant figure out what im doing wrong. I can post my stats if thats needed for you'r advices.

moving and being boomkins does not go well for our dps, that is why were so big and fat, we don't like to move..but the only thing i can think of is find equal ground… for example in lord jaraxx you can post ur self on one of the small tip of the star and hit both portals/ mistresses when they spawn, as far as FC.. ur just gonna have to move, no helping in that fight.

In my rotation I drop my treants and starfall the ff mf spam wrath until eclipse procs starfire until eclipse procs and refresh my DoTs when I switch after an eclipse proc ( the idol of lunar fury gives a crit buff on periodic strikes may wanna keep that on em) I'm bursting at 7k dps initially and leveling out to 5.8k – 6.5k average dps….

I had a question about certain fights. With the release of WoTLK, Blizzard has decided to put in more fights where the raid has to move… a LOT. I was wondering how/if this affects moonkin dps. If it does lower dps, what would you recommend doing to keep up the dps and still "stay out of the fire?" Does having your haste soft capped help in a moving fight at all? I find myself getting stuck refreshing my DoTs more than any of my other spells in fights like Faction Champs, Lord Jaraxx, The Magnutar, The Worm Twins, etc. etc. Any info on moving fights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time and advice

Thought i'd follow up after raiding last night. Seems like the Feral FF and my IFF were both on the target at the same time as 2 seperate debuffs. I highly doubt the effects were stacking but the important part is that my IFF was not overwritten. DPS up a bit in ToC 10 man but unsure if that is due to increased framerates (was previously raiding with 8 – 11 fps) or dropping the hit trinket. Ppicked up some upgrades last night too so will have to go and play on the dummies with the old kit and work it out without framerate issues.

Thanks for the advice and time

Heh. Its easy to reply fast from email (I get an email on every new comment).

If I'm not mistaken, iFF from the balance tree is more "powerful" than a feral FF, and your spell will override theirs, and will not be overriden if they cast FF again.

Give it a shot again and test if you like, I'm nearly 100% positive a feral FF cannot remove your FF. Im sure you will see a slight DPS increase if you drop that extra 3% +hit and use that extra itemization elsewhere.

Trinkets are the last places I like to get +hit from because you can grab some amazing trinkets with awesome Equip effects to really do some damage
