Lava Lash Glyph

On Tuesday night I had some terrible fun in Hyjal and BT. I was a monster on bosses that didn't require the usual melee run-around-like-an-idiot routine.

With 3.0.3 the Strength of Earth Glyph was replace with the Lava Lash Glyph. (Interestingly, Blizzard didn't depreciate the old glyph instead they just replaced it using the same item ID so the Wowhead listing still says SoE but the tooltip is for LL). Anyway, I had to respec out of Static Shock/PvP and into my raid spec and replace the LS glyph so I figured why not give FT a shot.

At first I started out with the Prowler's Strikeblade from ZA, a 1.50 speed OH, and a WF/FT but I felt the damage output was anemic. Considering that both Lava Lash and Stormstrike get their damage coefficient from base weapon damage, you want the slower more powerful weapon in your OH. So back to Vanir's I went looking to top out my damage. And I did.

I ripped apart bosses keeping up a steady stream of damage. My rotation priority was MW5_LB, LL, SS, ES. I moved LL up in the rotation priority to take advantage of the glyph. In the end I think it worked.

I'm back online this weekend after an extremely busy week IRL at work. I'll probably be doing some more PvP.

OH! One other thing I forgot to mention, I actually did something a little different with this PvE spec--I only put 2 points in Unleashed Rage. I believe that it overlaps with Trueshot Aura. I should probably test this out, but I dished out that damage with only 2 points in UR.
