Dealing with Eclipse to increase Moonkin dps

[olipcs]

In my setup, this works quite well, and after implementing it and getting used to it, i saw a good dps increase, (even when only using is and mf at the beginning of a mspam macro with '/castsequence Insect Swarm,Moonfire,N').

So, yes, I would say it works quite well.

If you want numbers on a target dummy my group together (as in a real boss scenario, where the 13%-spelldmg buff is also used by the mage and hunter) did the following dps (buffed):

MM-Hunter (best geared of my dps buffed arround 30% charscreen-crit / 4500 AP) : ca. 2900 dps
Moonkin (arround 1700 sp / 23% charscreen-crit) : ca. 2800 dps
Frost-Mage (arround 1700 sp / 22% charscreen-crit): ca. 2700dps (with a simple icy vain/frostbolt spam)

so all in all, I would say the druid did quite good, and especialy when bevor I implemented the 'eclipse-method' he always was the 'last'-dpser (and in real dungeons even often behind my pala-tank, due to the amount of aoe-dmg the pala does on trash).

What I realy lack is a shaman who gives my team the heroism buff, which would increase boss dps quite a lot, but for this I would have to level and gear my lvl70 shaman and replace my 2000sp-holy-priest, which currently I don'T see me doing.

Annother funny think to note about the moonkin:
- I specced him with all the 'mana'-talent, as I knew, that back when doing kara mana was an issue (Oomkin anyone ), und funily, when doing the target-dummy test my frostmage ran out of mana before the druid (although i didn't use mana-gems,evocation and the druids anregen).
So I think I will respec the druid a little and put some points out of the mana talents and more in the dps ones..

So dump your frost mage for an elemental shaman. Boosts the boomkins DPS (which the frost mage doesn't in SP) as well.

The SP your other casters get as well as your healer, well outweighs the extra DPS your mage MIGHT do over an elemental shaman.

I see your point with the +5 crit debuff though, I use my dest lock for that and I sure would miss it.

Totem of Wrath also applies a crit debuff, and does not fall off when the mage is CCd or otherwise unable to reapply. Also, it is applied before the fight starts, and does not require several casts to gain full benefit, very useful for bosses where burning him down asap is a problem.. and lets not forget.. shamans have Heroism, Ankh, Heals, Totems, resses, etc etc.
