Rotation/ Priority

Wah, its been a while.

So after a lot of thought I came to a conclusion. To maximize threat usually there is a rotation but because of certian talents, cooldowns will never fit work in that order. So the best i can do is give you a break down of a pull rotation and after that it becomes skill priority.

Single Target Pull:
-3 sec - Bloodlust
-2 sec - shoot ( not global CD)
-1.5 sec - Charge
-1 sec - Heroic Throw
0 sec - Shield Slam ( Mob Contact Point )
1.5 sec - Revenge
3 sec - Concussion Blow
4.5 sec - Fill

While all this is going on you should be using Heroic Strike on the side

After 3 sec we go into skill priority.
Shield Slam
Revenge
Concussion Blow-Shockwave
Heroic Throw-Rend
Mocking Blow-Thunder Clap-Devastate

Part 2 to be Continued Multi target Rotation

Continue Expertise/ Hit: Part 2

To stop Loonie from driving me insane....

Explaination to the data from the last post.

Bosses have a 6.5% dodge and 14.25% Parry.
Melee should ideally stack expertise to 26 expertise(214 rating) before stacking hit. There are three reasons for this train of thought.
First, expertise does the same thing as hit until you hit the 26 expertise where it knocks target mob's dodge off the table. After that all that is left is Parry.
Second, 33 Expertise Rating translate to 1% reduction in both dodge and parry. This essentially means that you reduced 2% miss on the target. Where 33 Hit Rating translate to only 1% miss reduction on the target.
Third, when a mob parries your attack they gain a 20% reduction in thier swing timer. Basically there next attack speeds up by 20% every time they parry your attack.

Last note: I did say Ideally at the start. Its suggested but not required so don't go crazy if you cant get all that expertise recommended before getting hit. If you get some hit gear you can use that while you find some expertise. As I have said before I like to keep things balanced.
