Hello everyone,
I would like some advice on how to improve my damage regarding my frost mage. I'm currently raiding SoO 25 HC (13/14) with changing PUGs using OpenRaid and somehow I can't get the hang of it. I should probably be doing like 50k+ DPS more than I'm doing right now, but I don't really know what to focus on most.
Things i noticed myself so far: Invoker's Energy uptime seems fine, Bomb uptime is too low, often around 85% instead of 95% (even though I got a WeakAura that reminds me) and I'm loosing too many Brain Freeze Procs on some fights (of course trying to use them asap, but obviously could do better here).
But I still have the feeling that I'm missing something important and that this can't be all. So any advice is more than welcome. As you will see, I'm using the 15832 build right now, and my weakest slot is of course the second trinket, but no drop luck so far.

I can't see a lot wrong but then there are better mages and log readers out there than me so they will be able to find the advanced stuff like not spamming buttons enough and so on.
Other than the things that you have pointed out your self, what I can see is as follows:
Invocation uptime is excellent and you don't seem to be casting it more than you should (e.g. refreshing it when there is still 20 seconds to go).
You dont have to many Ice Lance casts compared to Fingers of Frost procs and the extra casts could be down to movement.
You are very good at using Alter Time and do not clip your major buffs with it.
I did see the odd fight (Fallen Protectors for example) where you didn't seem ready for the pull and as such you didn't pre-pot and you cast Invocation a few seconds into the fight rather than before the pull. Maybe this was a Ninja pull and the group just went with it.
Another thing I noticed is that you don't change your Mage Bomb at all. You have Living Bomb for all fights. You really should be changing to Nether Tempest for Fallen Protectors and Spoils (and Klaxi if you want to meter pad).
The other thing I noticed is you are using Ice Barrier as soon as the absorb has been depleted or the ability is off CD. This is great from a healer point of view but you might be better switching to Flameglow if you want something up all the time or if you want something to help out with the burst of damage, choose Temporal Shield as this is off the GCD so casting the ability is not at the expense of DPS.
Finally, other things that I noticed is you missed a few CD's. E.g. Missed taking your second potion or a Frost Orb was not used when it could have been.
