Special note concerning D/w You do not need to cap out your to hit rating to be effective dps. Extra to hit after your minimum for your spec, increases overall damage less than crit or AP will. 9% to hit should be your minimum to hit. This is 95 hit rating with precision 3/3.

An easy way to figure how to increase your overall dps;
1. Assess current AP (add 10 more)
2. Assess current Crit Rating (add 2 more)
3. Assess current Hit Rating (Cap it out later, get your minimum, add 2 more)
4. Assess current Expertise Rating (add 2 more)
5. Assess current Haste Rating (add 2 more)
6. Assess current Armor Penetration (add 2 more)
7. Assess your current raid buffs (add 1 more

DPS Increase Part 2
1. If you have less than 9% plus to hit (depending on spec, see below) get 9% plus to hit.
2. If you have less than 25% crit, get 25% crit rate (unbuffed)
3. Get 3000 AP (Buffed)
4. Start stacking Armor Penetration
5. Get more AP and Crit, ~180 AP = 1% crit.
Go to 4
For D/w do not shy away from gear with hit rating, the more the merrier. But do not substitute hit for Armor pen, crit or AP/str.
