Starfall, worth the talent point?

Normally I'd say yes, but lately, I've begun to doubt its use on most boss fights. On fights like Onyxia and Sarth+3 where some heavy AoE is needed, sure. But for a majority of single boss fights, wouldn't the points be spent better elsewhere?

What 1 talent would you take instead? I don't think it's good enough to say that it's not useful because it does provide more than 0 DPS. Quantify what DPS it does provide you, then see if that 1 point placed anywhere else equals it.

It's not a dps loss on single target fights and it is a dps gain on fights with adds.
Anub p3 anyone?
Imho very worth it.

The reason it's not a loss on single target is because all the stars will fall on that one target. So all the damage that's done to multiple targets in an AoE scenario is done to one target. Hooray!
Short version, yes Starfall is worth it. I'm one of those success stories, I didn't pick up Starfall til about a month ago, and as soon as I did I saw a dps increase on both aoe and boss fights.

The only thing you will miss out on between AoE fights and single target fights is the sharding that happens when each star hit's it's initial target it "shards" and hits other for reduced damage. Nice bonus on an AoE fight but does not happen on a single target fight. That being said in a single target situation it's worth more damage then a crit SF with all trinkets proc'd. between 18-20k damage each use in single target and scales quite nicely. However while it does more damage then a single SF you will still want to save it for a more opportune time like a phase with adds or popping it seconds before a burn phase (XT heart). If you tank can handle the threat generated poping it as part of your ramp up at the start of the fight helps is very fun.

correct, on a single target you'll only get 10 stars but for a single talent point starfall is still the best choice for both single target and aoe dps
