EnhSim Results, and Other Findings

I've been running EnhSim playing out different variables. My limitation is that I am really only running it in Enhancement gear so I can't test results against pure Ele gear or a mix of Ele and Enhance. I do have some good findings though just from my pure Enhance gear setup. All tests were based off the 8/53/0 spec with Imp Shields instead of Imp Ghostwolf.

Across the board Slow/Slow beat out Slow/Fast regardless of enchants or spell rotations. Slow/Fast was usually around 50 DPS lower than Slow/Slow. I suspect this is due to my current gear setup, so I would be interested to know if anyone ran tests in mixed gear to see if the spell damage coefficient kicks in and makes up for the OH-eaten WF procs.

Result 1: Slow/Slow we go! I'm definitely relieved that I don't have to rush out and find a decent fast OH weapon.

Next, spells. There are five possible spells we can use in our rotation now:

1. FS - Flame Shock
2. SS - Stormstrike
3. ES - Earth Shock
4. LL - Lava Lash
5. MW5_LB - Maelstrom Weapon 5 point Lightning Bolt (aka instant)

I tested 192 different simulations. First I used a WF/FT setup I ran all 96 possible combinations of FS, SS, LL, and MW5_LB while keeping ES last. Then I switched to WF/WF and ran all 96 possible combinations of FS, SS, ES, and MW5_LB while keeping LL last.

Running these tests while fully raid buffed in Enhancement gear using Slow/Slow weapons I found that WF/WF edged out WF/FT.
Average DPS for WF/FT across all rotations: 1911
Average DPS for WF/WF across all rotations: 1936

Result 2: WF/WF ftw!

It would seem things haven't really changed, just that I'm now kicking out a helluva a lot more damage. But again, I come back to the fact that it may be heavily gear dependent.

As for a priority of spells, it's a tough call but let's say I'm in the middle of a fight and all of my CD's are up at once and I have 5 procs of MW built up, what do I do? I Flame Shock. FS does on average more damage than the other spells. It's close, but the DoT makes the difference. The next best spell is MW5_LB, followed by ES and then SS. Really, it's splitting hairs. I could mash all five of my spells and still come up with 1930 DPS.

Result 3: Roll Face Leftwards Across Keyboard to Maximize DPS

Well, maybe not to that extreme...
