Hi everyone,
Unfortunately I do not have an armory setup correctly for my shaman at the moment. Currently raiding as restoration so the gear is not going to be enhancement.
That being said, my question can be answered I believe without an armory page.
I am using
Angry Dread
in my MH, but I cannot decide which to use for my offhand. I have
The Hand of Nerub
and
The Stray
.
I did some testing on a dummy, and charts seems to show that the Stray outdps' the Hand of Nerub. I am using WF/FT with the standard 16/55/0 raid spec. Would it make sense that The Stray does more damage since it is a slower FT weapon?
My rotation is: SS, ES, LL, Maelstrom(LB), rinse, repeat.

Putting lowest priority to Maelstrom stack...
Surely you must be joking?
Your hit rating is really, really low. I'm guessing / hoping that it's because you're not in your full enh set? I see a lot of resto gear on you still. But that 141 hit rating is going to just kill your DPS.
First off, do you have a full 5 maelstrom stack at the beginning of a fight? No. Usually, its after one full rotation, and as I'm sure he is acutely aware, its less of a rotation as its more of a whatever is avaiable at the time. Meaning:
Maelstrom Stack LB>SS>ES>LL
Second- Read the freakin' thread. He said in his first post that armory isn't updated to his enhancement gear.
Third, to address Usada, The Stray is a better enhancement weapon. For the offhand, the FT requires a slower weapon to do more damage. In addition, your SS and LL depend on weapon damage, less so stats, so again the slower weapon is better.

No crap you don't typically start a fight with a 5 stack. But that's why it's a
priority
order and not a rotation. Because you give priority to those items, in that order, whichever is ready to use first. If the first item isn't ready? Use the second. Second not ready? The third. Since Maelstrom isn't stacked at the start of the fight, guess what, that means it doesn't have priority, and instead you stormstrike.
If he is giving priority to maelstrom 5 stacks last, then he's hurting his DPS, simple as that.
And I'm outta this thread. I can't offer help on the weapons themselves beyond suggesting using EnhSim.
Thank you for repeating EXACTLY what i said.
