Okay. Yes. I'm jelly.

Lay me flat and spread me wide, because DAMN.  I am so very jealous right now.  My DK offtank crested the 300k hp buffed mark last night.

Three.  Hundred.  Thousand.  Hitpoints.

He's 394.  He comes in at just over 9.6k stamina.  I'm 395.  I come in at just shy of 11k stamina.  Yes, I realize my gemming is borked, but have you seen the prices on str/sta, dodge/parry, and parry/sta gems lately?  People didn't have those cuts, and the ones that do are all WAHAHAHA I TAKES UR MONEYZ!  *cough*  Anyway.  Back to bitching.

When we did DS Wednesday night, I still had him by a few thousand hp.  I swapped out some sta gems for sta/str, traded out my Veil of Lies for the str proc trinket from Spine, and we were just about even.  Now all of a sudden he's up over 300k with fort, food, and a flask.  I think I was sitting at 277?  Now, I know, I know.  ICC zone hp buff thingy.  But still!

Okay.  I think I'm over it.  I don't think I need to sit here and go through the 8% sta he gets from blood presence, and how much he got from effects, and what +30% is from that, or how it added up to nearly 30k hp.  I'll live.  I should write about something actually pertinent to 5.0.4.  Like...

THREAT!  Threat is good!

I'm a threat monster!  Charge, thunder clap, shield bash the main target, revenge the main target, shockwave, pop a shield barrier.  Shout, thunderclap, rotate devastate, bash, revenge, and shockwave as cooldowns come up.  Hit cleave or heroic strike on cooldown.  It's like...all the same from single target to aoe because shockwave and thunderclap don't cost rage any more.  How sweet is that?  Throw the shout on incoming, and pop shield block early on packs of trash, stick to barrier when big hits are coming in...  It's awesome!  Except when I'm doing a tank swap and I end up stealing aggro right back after my OT's taunt wears off.  All of my spammable attacks have threat components.

Spec note: After playing with threat and stuff, and watching my CD usage, I think I'm going to be switching to Impending Victory from Enraged Regeneration.  10% every 30s over 20% every minute that burns rage?  Yeah.  It's great when I've got my enrage thingy up, but that's only once every two minutes, so they come out to about the same unless I'm sacrificing a big fat damage absorb for a heal...

And stuff.

Disorganized post.  If you were standing where I'm standing right now?  You'd be disorganized too.  <3
