I wish my hunter would make those numbers.... my dk stand on 180 steady during a boss fight ..
my hunter 130... dont know what the prblm... im using all my cool downs
using the extra agility from the engineering
my rotation is this
Hunter's Mark
send pet to attack
Serpent Sting
dire beast
Bestial Wrath , Rapid Fire
and Kill Command when off cooldown
stampede and crows
and then agility trinket from eng
refresh Serpent Sting with cobras shot
glaive toss
and span arcane with what ever focus left
The numbers I posted are a result of being under perfect conditions to do optimal DPS. This includes a fight length of five minutes, completely raid buffed, the use of
Virmen's Bite at the start and some point later into the encounter, Time Warp or Heroism at some point, as well as being completely stationary with no target swapping or additional components coming into play at some point during the encounter.
Without these conditions, I have you at 164491 DPS. This result still assumes a five minute fight length and to be completely stationary, but the raid buffs, potions, Time Warp and Heroism are left out of the equation.

1. Hunters mark is applied automatically by your arcane shot and kill command. If you want to min max you can apply it before fight starts but dont bother during actual combat or when switching targets - thats 1 gcd wasted. Serpent sting refreshes real time so if you apply HM after sting its damage will increase.
2. If you pet is on assist it will attack as soon as you attack or/and you can macro /petattack to whatever shot you want (or kill command). Pet attack is out of golbal cooldown.
3. Beside orders to pet certain abilities in this list are off global cooldown which means they can (and should) be used simultanously. This includes bestial wrath, engi gloves, stampede and any racials you may have.
4. I dont understand why people bother with crows and than cry about low dps. Get Blink Strikes, forget about focus cost, forget about another button to press, Blink strikes is passive damage increase (and some mobility too).
5.
In this thread you will find my post about similar issue with all the macros/addons and stuff listed.
PS: Dont bother looking at the character sheet dps. Its your autoattack/autoshot dps. Its a relic of the past not used for anything.
Hunter's Mark should be used before the pull regardless.
That bit about Serpent Sting's damage being increased on the reapplication of Hunter's Mark is wrong. Serpent Sting does not update in real time; it's not dynamic. Serpent Sting works like a snapshot and Cobra Shot is what takes the pictures. If you apply Serpent Sting before trinket procs and your trinkets proc soon after, the next Cobra Shot will take a snapshot and Serpent Sting's damage will increase and reflect the gain in attack power and do more damage than the first application.
