Raiding SP helpFollow

Hi SP Community,

I very unfamiliar with Shadow Priests, or even priests in general for that matter and I was hoping the community here could help me answer a question or two.

I am curious to know what 25 man raid shadow dps should look like, what #'s should be put out?

As an example, take these stats. Self buffed no pots/flasks.

1132 Shadow Dmg
76 Spell Hit
12.53% Crit

In a Dr. Boom test I watched a SP push about 800sh with no pots, and 920sh with.

Is this what is to be expected? What is the generally "accepted" maxiumum dps rotation?

Thanks in advance :)

This kinda depends on his spec or how he does things. I'm to the point where, especially on easier bosses, I regularly clip the last tick of Flay in order to get out other spells, which boosts DPS a bit but at the cost of mana. It also depends on how many points in iMB and Shadow Power he has. That number sounds pretty good, though.

Just testing it now, 1289dmg and Timbal's Crystal, I hit 1055dps, stopping counting when I went oom (letting it drag on till dots run out lowers it significantly, my final listing was 980dps). Five Timbal's procs (one less than expected, and with one crit), 11 Mind Blast (4 crits, one more than expected), 7 SWD (2 crits, about as expected). That's compared to my max boss damage, about 1175dps on Karathress, but there's more movement and target switching in that fight.
DoT-and-Flay only I was at 845dps when I finally killed him off.
(On a side note, short fights like this are fun to inflate your DPS. Hex Shrunken Head, Plague, and lucky strings of crits on Blast, Death, and Timbal's netted just under 1250dps unbuffed :P)
