I can't seem to pass 2500dps(without raid buffs), is this normal? I have a Guard/Ember and an Affliction build. The Affliction one does more dps by what I've seen. I don't think its my gear, or my talents. But suggestions would be appreciated.
My armory is here.

My rotations for Affliction is
Corruption CoA UA Haunt SB Spam refresh dots rinse and repeat.
My rotation for Demo/Destro is.
Send Pet Corruption Immol CoA Incinerate spam.
*Edited with Rotations*

Well for one its better to open with shadow bolt then Haunt so when ur Dots all start ticking they get the Bonus dmg from Haunt aswell as shadow embrace.
Your rotation is key
i myself use SB -> haunt->UA-> Corr-> CoA-> SB spam
its Also important ur not clipping CoA as the last tick does the most dmg aswell as wasting time on the GC. Make sure ur not canceling a cast of sb just to refresh a DoT aswell as one tick of a Dot is no where near as strong as a shadowbolt.
I'm topping out at around 4.2k dps now and thats with 10 and 25 man Naxx gear.
But im sure some one will be shooting my post down for being incorrect or sumthing along those lines so just try different rotations with Recount open on some training Dummies and find what works best.

you should.
and use rank 1 life tap whenever you don't need the mana (like before a fight starts).
and don't clip
any
DoT, not just CoA. the only timer you should clip is haunt and that's because it's a debuff not a DoT.

Yeah currently my server is lacking in scribes so there's a very unreliable market for glyphs. i currently use Haunt CoA and siphon life they seem to be working for me atm.

SiLi? even GoCorr would be better than that... and that's saying something ^^

I'm still at 2500 dps, but I think this is easier for me so I don't clip my DoTs. But I must be doing something wrong, I'm probably clipping them.

ah, i remember the days when a macro could choose which rank of lifetap to use for you depending on how much health you had or mana you needed.
...macros could also make a good cup of tea back then though.

There's a nice macro on the stickies that regularly casts life tap, but clicking alt + life tap key casts lvl 1 lifetap. Nice and easy.
I'll look that up.
