Frost Review

edit:
Armorylink though that gear does not match what I used: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/e ... s/advanced" target="_blank

Note the report was done with 10394 haste and 15776 mastery. Read non optimized gear. Gemming is wrong, etc. The complete gear is in the spoiler as a simcraft profile.
Its more about what I could improve playstyle wise. Where I miss snappshoting LB or refresh LB too often, Cooldown use, Proc use etc.

I would also be highly interested in a review of me dealing with boss mechanics.

I also know that multidotting is not my strong point and I am really glad when it is removed with WoD.

Shoot me a pm if you want me to elaborate on my crazy thoughts. I sometimes lose track of what I actually meant to say.

It's hard to read a simcraft profile. Can you either link an AMR profile, or your armory?

Its just my gear on the armory and askmrrobot has little to do with what I used on the logs. Because I could not fix it before the raid. Thats why I included the simcraft profile as I do not know how to preserve a gear set otherwise.

+You're good at using FoF Charges
+You're good at using BF Charges

Possibly if you used the run-out strategy this isn't so bad, however:
-Living bomb uptime is 5-10% lower than it should be
-Invoker's Energy uptime is 5-10% lower than it should be
Linking us a single target, easy fight won't do much though if you want to fix your playstyle (which is the correct way to improve, not worrying about mastery vs. haste stacking or breakpoints. Others should emulate you).

Your Galakras shows a worse picture in some ways. Living Bomb is a bad choice for the fight in 25M but it's okay to use in 10M if your guild is very fast. You did the fight in 9:27 so you didn't speed up the fight much, and I would reckon that Nether Tempest is better for your situation.

Regardless of bomb choice, on a fight like this 78% uptime is too low. As you do not enjoy multidot, I would recommend specifically to you that you switch to Frost Bomb and anchor it on Tidal Shaman. Weave Flamestrikes when there are 4+ targets (based off your gear), or 2+ targets when you are within Meta/Hero.

On Fallen Protectors I notice you also used Living Bomb. Unless your guild separates them all out entirely then it is unideal to use Living Bomb - the Nether Tempest Cleave more than makes up for the lower on-target-DPET of NT. Your proc usage is perfect. TFP can be a hectic fight for a guild that takes 7:55 to kill it, so checking your Alter Time usage here will help show you how on target you are:

Result: Good decision making on all but your delay in using your potion.

Conclusion: I think you're just fine. Choose your bombs more wisely, work on uptimes as usual, don't rule out Fostbomb if you're comfy with it, remember your potion for AT. Everything else, arguably the harder stuff, you are doing perfectly. Keep up the good stuffs.

If you comment on my uptime for IJ: I was dead during p2, though I got a second BL out of it. :D

Otherwise thank you for your review. Really helped. I think part of it is not having as much confidence in my mage skills as in my elemental skills, due to having less experience.

I will give NT a try on Fallen Protectors but usually it seems that they are tanked a part from each other except for the first 20% and the last 15%-20%. May have to adjust based on more pulls with that group, tank habits and such.

Bad strats hurt dps more than anything, honestly.
