You might be able to spike to 3.5 with a little RNG love on crits/clearcasts but 2.5k or so would be your average I'd guess. Even if you could be doing a bit more dps with that gear kitty dps isn't something you're going to just try once or twice and get down...takes alot of practice and skill to get it down right.

"Gear Score" has 2 popular meanings, either the addon (usually between 4500-5900) or wow-heroes.com (usually between 2000-3000, usually abbreviated WHGS).
You can get the addon
here
, and you can see your wow-heroes.com score
here
(2068 atm).

Oh look, yet another gearscore thread.
Gearscore is useless for anything other then a "at-a-glance".
GS tries to be a measure of your gear, but fails on the premise that higher ilvl is always better. There are quite a few instances where this does not hold true, even when the gear is for the correct spec. The 5 main reasons are: Trinkets, idols, setbonuses, sockets and itemization. (I'm not talking about 1K differences in total GS here, but you can easily get a few hundred)
This leads to the main problem I have with GS:
People are starting to gear not for increased performance/DPS, but increase GS rating
. One of the worst repeat offenders is using
MoS
even when hitcapped without it. Most of the 232 gear from ICC5 is on par with 219-226 raid gear, due to lack of sockets and poor itemization.
Personally, I can increase my tanking GS by 200 by just equiping worse gear (that is the correct spec, thank you), because of the way trinkets/idols/setbonuses work.
