What is so magical about the 1900 haste number for demo?

Hmm somehow I doubt that 100 haste rating makes 4k dps. There might have been other factors to speak of that were more important. If you want proof, sim your char at 1800 then at 1900 haste. You can alter your stats if I remember the SimCraft guide from asa correctly.

Well except for the Metamorphosis cooldown, I would say its pretty inconsistent due to being only 15% renewal.
I had times it was back in near 1:15 minutes, and times where I had it back right after my demon soul cooldown.

Well I've been told the proper way to play demo is to save your cd's for meta. So you should be doing popping it every 2 minutes, and only a little later if unlucky with procs....does that happen a lot?

I recall a fight I had on Shannox a few weeks ago, I would always use Meta on proc (which coincidentally, my Mirror of Theralion would always be free before that), though every pair of Meta I cast, I wouldn't get the Demon Soul buff, only for the next. I'll see if I save it for when trinkets and Demon Soul are up again from now on.

I managed to get the Moonwell Chalice last night, and now I made my macro based on it, since Meta takes a snapshot, the trinket is the first to be activated in the macro. This way I'm only using my Meta when my trinket is up.
Also, I managed to buy my Volcanospike! And boy is it awesome!
Considering that just a few days ago it was about 40k gold, I ended up buying mine for 27k! (Though I'm sure due to my hastiness its gonna drop even lower).
Now I'm not sure if I'm at 30% haste, but I'll be able to check it on tonigh's raid.

People make a big deal about haste at 1993 because it gives an additional corruption tick. In the hands of a skilled player, mastery stacking usually yields more dps though.

Hmmm this power level thingie would happen to be the extra % damage Meta is providing? Because since I'm using moonwell chalice before Meta, my tooltip only shows the moonwell stats.
I already know that my Meta gets 65% extra damage but, it would be nice if I could annouce to myself how much it is, in case I happen to change my mastery rating.

I know the only difference is corruption adds a tick at 1993 or something, but that won't make much of a difference.
As lock13 says, though, this shouldn't make a difference when Corruption is always refreshed prior to falling off.

The thing is when you /use the moonwell it needs to be placed in the world and the beam needs to connect before you get the mastery bonus.
/use moonwell
/cast meta
Means your meta activates and uses your mastery BEFORE the moonwell buff. Thus costing you a load of mastery.

I'm confused what your asking. I read it a few times but it's not computing. Could you rephrase it?
Oh no I am using Moonwell Chalice before activating meta.
The question I meant was, that macro which says
/castsequence Moonwell Chalice, Metamorphosis
/run if UnitBuff("player","Metamorphosis") then print("Super Power Level at: "..floor((select(7,UnitDamage"player")or 1)*100+.5).."%") end
The part which says "Super power level at : ----", what is the output of that? Does it show the extra damage percentage of Meta? Kinda like:
"Super power level at : Metamorphosis giving 50% extra damage for 36 seconds!"
Rekijan is correct. Moonwell is the most important thing with Demo. Missing that will be horrible. Macro your moonwell to everything else. Demon Soul, potion, whatever, then Meta second to ensure you get the Mastery bonus.
Hmm though Meta only snapshots your mastery right? Would the Int, Haste or any other buff make a difference? (Other than activating it during heroism)

The macro prints a message to your chat saying "Super power level at: 150%" (or whatever the percentage is for you).
Meta snapshots Mastery but assuming you're going to pop Meta and then cast some spells you'll want all the other buffs in place for the spells (BoD etc.).
