Kitty Swipe is pretty awesome. If you use it the right way you can finally hold up with all the aoe folks. I kinda like it ^^
The rotation thingy:
Mangle, Rake, SR
Tigers Fury
If on boss then berserk
shred till 5cp for rip
keep mangle, rake, rip and sr up all the time, shred when OoC procs

I SR at 3 cp (max) because of the simple fact that you want to have SR going as soon as possible. Mangle and rake are the first things I do so you will get 2 to 3 cp immediately for things you must do. I try to do it at 3 so sometimes I shred for the third one. As soon as SR is up you'll get the 40% ap buff. I think it's sort of dependant on ur crit. The higher the crit the more change u have for extra cp's and it might be easier to put up a 5cp SR. But for now, I'll just stick to the 3cp SR.

well i can understand the concept of getting the intial SR up asap, but in your sequence you indicated that all SR after that is also at 3cp. There is no real advantage in this, there isnt realy much advantage in the intial 3cp SR either.
Reaching 5cp is simple to achieve while keeping both Rip and SR running constantly, you should even have cp's to spare
Aah, yeah, true. After the initial SR you can keep up the 5 pointer. I still need to get used to the rotation, keeping everything up, react properly to OoC procs etc. so I still struggle with it.

Okay so I'm having issues with Hit Rating at level 80, pre-naxx. I'd love to be hit capped before I go in, but I seem to be giving up sooo much crit for the extra hit rating.
Right now I'm sitting at 134 Hit with a measly 34% crit =/ Theres a thread for tank gear, but does someone want to give me ideas on some awesome cat gear for backup?
p.s My primary role is Tanking, thats what I'm specced for, but I want to have a legible DPS set for raids/heroics if I go with another tank.

Another question.
With only 80 dungeon gear (No heroic, or raid gear, and using half of my tank gear as well) I'm managing to pull off anywhere between 14 and 1500 DPS.
What's the most I *should* be able to pull off without any heroic gear? (I tank heroics, its just that I'm paranoid about not putting up enough DPS to DPS them >_> and I cant ever get any DPS gear to drop. lol)

This is my armory with DPS gear on.
My self buffed crit is 36.24%
My current shoulders are

with

not the ones listed in armory.

Well i would like to ask something i have read lots of forum and staff i was thinking why not use this rotation i know shred is imba but sometimes you are not all the time behind the target or if the tank turn it or something you will have to do something else for example Thaddeus there is a chance to looking at your side when you do dps so you have to use something else. So i am use this :
Mangle until 2 or 5 combo
SR then TF And Again
Mangle until 5 combo and
Rip
Btw mangle is not that bad for dps altough shred there is little better for like 100dps more maybe but if in some fight you cannt go behind the target then what ..... Altough i have like 51% crit unbuffed so i believe is also a good combo if you cannt go behind the target in some occasions.
Need a opinion about this ?

Well, I can imagine that you sometimes have the use mangle-spam instead of shred, for example on Thaddieus when the tank is on the side as you are on, but that won't happen that much. You always try to get behind the mob when you are not solo'ing. But why don't you use rake? If you put up rake, you have extra damage ticking for 8 sec.
I underestimated the power of feral charge. Never used it, but now I (finally) discovered that it is an easy way to start in a fight. You're directly in the right position and can start doing damage a sec earlier then without feral charge.

when you run with a DK, 2 pallies and 2 mages who are ALL doing AoEs, it almost seems pointless.
Yeah, sure... GG. You think I managed to do
23,068,298 (4643.7, 8.3%)
Overall Damage for a Naxxramas run or
28,687 DPS
by shredding or thinking that Swipe is pointless?
