Boomkin question for sustained dps and advanced tips

[kujosob]

First off ill put a link for my armory page to give a general idea of what im workign with:

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/f ... c/advanced

I am currently hit capped (I have the helm off of attramedes reg but have to switch in metas most fights for hardmode or reg content as im the third healer for 1/2 of the content).

On an average raid night on almost all bosses I hit about 17-19 k dps on most fights (attrramedes, asc council) However on other fights I spike and maintain 22k + dps (nef/chim/omni ( although some of those are sit and dps/somewhat buff mechanics).

My main issue is I seem to hit a cap with possible dps with my current gear but don't like to blame it on that. I feel like im missing something somewhere and just one little tweek here or there would make me reach that potential. On almost all of my gear ive prioritized int > haste, mastery,crit and have most other items reforged to haste. Gems that are currently being used get me to the hit cap just barely over so while some might seem out of place its because of hit and also because some of the same gear is used for healing.

I read the elitistjerks posts and theorycrafting underneath and always clip my dots when i have int/haste procs and always have about a 80-90% uptime (only times they aren't running is if they drop 1 or 2 casts away from an eclipse.

My main questions are:


1) What are some advanced macro's techniques you use to bridge that gap between mid range dps (the 17-19 k) to the higher end dps? (including on individual bosses or in general certain things youve changed over time and noticed)

2)I believe a current issue in my dps revolves around the seperate eclipse portions. Generally I spike during lunar and get up to anywhere from 20-35 k spikes but then on solar eclipse my dps drops dramatically. (although I use strafall almost every lunar for an extra boost but the gap is quite large) Is this similar for your rotations and dps/ dpe outputs? With the increased dmg for tics in solar eclipse I would have thought dps would be higher but for some reason it isn't.

3) on a personal note is there something I should fix with my gear the only enchant i could change would be int to bracers which i just got from a random drop and am currently switching as I put this in. But beyond that; is my gear really my limitation?

1. i've no macros that increase my dps in target dummy fights.

2. try without using starfall in lunar eclipse and they should be ~equal.

3. proper Gems
proper enchants
proper reforges
and maybe think your Spec again

sorry for #2 I meant my solar dps was lower. My lunar is the one that spikes high and the solar is the one that drops. I use starfall during lunar but am trying to find out why it drops so much beyond that during solar.
