First heres my armory
[link=http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?n=Moraben&r=Draenor[/link]
I'm currently speced demo/dest. My prob is I can't get any higher than 450dps as affliction, and I respeced last nite to my current build. With demo/dest I average about 540 dps. My spell rotations are COA,COR,Immo, SB spam and repeat for dest build, and UA,Immo,COA,COR,LT,SL(every other round), SB spam and repeat. Am I doing somthing wrong here or is this just an average for the gear lvl I'm at?

Thx for any responces

I can't comment on your gear (because armory doesn't like my browser), but your cast rotation doesn't seem bad.

Is that what you do on trash, or is that a boss rotation? For trash, I usually just throw on Corruption and maybe SL, then Shadow Bolt spam. You have to judge if the trash will live long enough for all your DoTs to be both applied and run their full duration. If they're dying within 10-15 seconds, it's not worth a full DoT cycle.

As for bosses, I do UA, CoA (or CoD, if I remember :P), Corruption, SL, maybe Immolate (again, if I remember), then SB spam and renew DoTs as they expire. It's crucial to keep DoTs up, especially as Affliction. I don't have any DPS numbers for my own runs, as I don't tend to keep track of that, but I've not had any complaints about my performance.

Don't really keep track on trash normally cos and sb spam. The rotation given is for boss fights. I'm normally 1-3rd on the meters for bosses depending who is in the group with me. We are in kara atm cleared all cept for spite and bane which is soon to come. I just wanna make sure that I have my spell rotations right and i'm doing the right ammount of damage for the gear I have.

Im with Morelock on the problems of not being able to get the DPS others are claiming.

On trash if I cast UA, Corruption, SB til low, shadow burn, then searing pain (sometimes lands, sometimes mob's already dead). I use my trinkets when CD is up.

On bosses I cast CoD, Corruption, UA, Immo, SL, SB spam. Renew Corruption, UA, Imo in that order, and SL when ever I see it about to end.

Overall DPS in raids ends up being in the 500-550 range. I did hit 650dps on a boss when I could just stand there and Curse/SB, but that was pretty much as good as I can see me getting.
