Here's a couple tips:
- You want about 6% +hit. Use the ascendancy cloak, neck, ring, and 2 points in precision to get this. I noticed you have 0 hit - if any of your shaman miss you won't get the kill. Keep in mind you need 4% +hit to hit a target with no resistance, 6% for a blood elf, 6% for a night elf for nature spells, 8% for a ret paladin, and 10% for a blood elf ret paladin
- You want a bare minimum of 75 spell penetration. I currently play with 110-115
- Don't gem stamina past like 21.5k hp. Gem spell power
- Dump your helm and shoulder enchants for the wintergrasp ones
- Make sure all of your key bindings allow for fastest possible reaction time. For most spells I don't have to move my left hand at all, only my fingers. Too far to the right of the keyboard and I have to move. Put the most important spells on mouse buttons (I have my focus nuke macro and bloodlustx4 - in case one is stunned - on mouse buttons, plus grounding totems)
- Make a i win button. Something like: elemental master, trinket, flame shock, lava burst, chain lightning, frost shock. The lava burst doesn't always kill geared targets, sometimes even the chain lightning won't either. Put it in a cast sequence.
- Use focus targets - mirroring targets across 4 toons is hard to pull off past like 1400 rating. Hard switching stops working at like 1700 rating. Focus targets have worked for me on 2400 teams.
- Set up a wind shearx4 macro on all keys for random interrupts every 6 seconds. It's awesome
- Set up a hex x4 macro
- Set up round robin thunderstorm+fire nova
- As the other team rushes in, your typical order of action could be something like: Bloodlust, Wait for aoe cc if any, hit your focus target, finish him off if you can, check main's health and heal if necessary, assess current situation. If things get confusing, or the remaining dps are still hurting you a lot - use your hex macro. Go for second dps if you kill the first. If you don't kill another dps within 10-15 seconds, pick off a healer if necessary. Paladins, shamans, and druids are easy healers to kill. Priests are not.
DPS kill order, for me, is roughly
- Elemental shaman
- Boomkin
- Feral Druid
- Enhancement shaman
- Warrior (unless he goes defensive)
- Death Knight
- Mage
- Hunter
- Rogue
- Warlock
I'd say the top 3-4 are priority targets no matter what. The rest, it kinda depends on how the game plays out. I might kill a rogue way before a warrior... depends on what's happening. Throw in affliction warlock (if you ever see one) and shadow priest somewhere in the middle.
If you start picking off healers:
- Resto shaman (grounding totems get in the way)
- Druid (HoTs are worthless against our burst)
- Holy pally - punch heals will make it really hard to kill dps without elemental mastery up
- Priest. In most games this is usually the absolute last person I kill, that or a destro warlock
