Hi Kruf,
First a late congratulations to you guys on heroic Lich King. Awesome to see how intense this fight is and seeing your guys guide and how cleverly you dealt with mechanics such as using ret paly's to have aggro on the valk's and prot paly taunting all 3 off immediately.
Secondly I, like many others, was hoping you might be able to help me improve my damage a bit. Last month I switched from Holy Paladin to Hunter due to our raid having 0 hunters and having 3 consistent holy paladins. I feel I do fairly well and each week I am improving, I see somethings I'm doing wrong and am working on fixing those but was hoping you might also be able to spot some things I need to improve that I don't see. My gear is actually very good for only doing any serious raiding on it for a month now.
I mostly have questions on two fights as I feel they are the only ones that are somewhat of a challenge to pull off top DPS as a hunter; the heroic versions of Putricide 25 and Sindragosa 25. We have beaten both but I'm pretty sure I'm missing things that I could be doing to improve damage.
My armory is here:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... n=Badkarma Per your recommendations earlier in the thread I will be buying the badge trinket in place of NES this week, femaledwarf indicates it's a 90dps upgrade which I definitely did not expect. I am also not gemmed ArP yet since even at 661 unbuffed the spreadsheet is telling me it's like a ~20 dps loss which translates into even more of a loss on add fights that don't have sunder / mangle.
Anyways onto the main point of me posting. For Putricide 25 heroic here are the web stats of our two kills:
1st:

http://worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-v6fpl ... 664&e=1108 Fraps of first kill which may aid you in finding more of my mistakes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQGoQuq-ey4 I think I did a good bit better in the 2nd kill than I did in the 1st, got 1k more dps but part of that was also like 3 gear upgrades (finally got 4pc t10 264 when was using 2pc 2pc). Here's the mistakes I noticed on my first kill and worked to improve on the second: I should be using chimera glyph to keep SrS rolling instead of hawk (didn't actually do this, just noting I should), and and didn't line my rapid CotW up properly with my WFS. I see other hunter videos where they pull over 10k without the 10% buff so there has to be more than these two things I'm missing. The kill video I also spaced out and didn't attack the red blob once but if anything that probably upped my DPS, though in a bad way for the raid.
Sindragosa 25H we just killed the first time this week, I don't think there was too much I messed up but again I'm sure there are things I should improve on. I was @ ~9700 dps when I died around 2%.
Here's the parse:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8d-L-Ps6Ko Also had one more question regarding lich king. We just started a few heroic attempts this week (only like 5) and will be casually doing progress on him. I feel most of it is very straightforward DPS wise except for DPSing the Valkyr's as a hunter. I have to run into the stack, sit there for a bit when they start coming until I find they don't pick me, then get back out like 10 yards due to their big hit boxes. Is there a more efficient method to doing DPS on them than this as a hunter? Do you know if feigning when they are about to pick targets take you off the list to be picked up / would it be worth it if so?
Sorry for the very long post, just really would like to continue improving each week and be more competitive with other top hunters but I lack the experience of most of them to know certain things I may be doing wrong. Any help you may be able to give me I'd greatly appreciate.
Thanks,
Badkarma
