Spec:
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/sentinels/luke/advanced My character, Luke, is dual specced. One is disc PVE heals, and the other is disc PVP. I've toyed with Holy and liked it pre-85, hate it now. And I've toyed with shadow, and do not like the gameplay for it whatsoever.
My guild is very healer heavy, so I find I'm being asked to DPS a lot. Since I hate shadow, I went with my PVP spec tonight just for kicks, to see how we do. Four of us entered the queue for a tank, 3 mins later, we ran regular Halls of Origination.
Right away the tank questions why I'm not shadow, and I explain. He does a o.O cause he sees we're all in a guild together, but we're fun and cool people, so we rock the instance.
Trash DPS was pretty bland, 4.5k average. But bosses, wow. I was shocked.
6.5k DPS on bosses, which includes running around and all that. And it was consistent on each boss. Not to mention, atonement was helping the paladin healer a lot, who kept yawning and saying how easy this run was to heal for some reason. I enlightened him later on.
The tank whispered me, "Wow, not bad man. Not bad." All the other DPS were doing about 5.5 to 6k on the bosses, give or take.
My rotation: Penance, Devouring Plague, SW: Pain, Holy Fire, Smite x3, Penance, and just kept the dots and holy fire up so smite does more damage.
Not to mention the dispels, cure diseases, and lifegripping the DPS on the first boss up from the lever, epic usage there.
So, I'm not saying it's a viable RAID spec, or even heroics. But gee wizz, in my PVP gear, with the talents you see there, pulling my own and leading DPS on boss fights isn't so bad. The guild loved it and want me to rock it more often, and I'd be happy to oblige.
Anyone have any experience with it? My only gripe was drinking every few pulls, but that seems to be commonplace in this expansion anyway.
EDIT: Oh, I plan on pulling 2 pts from Train of Thought and putting it into Twisted Faith for the hit. Wow, all this without being hit capped. I love it.
EDIT EDIT: Forgot to add, I also used SW: Death when the mob/boss was below 25%, twice in a row, whenever it was available.
