What is he doing wrong...Follow

Now I mainly stick to my feathers and laz0rz, but this mage in my guild has been pissing me off lately and I need to know wtf is wrong with him and his dps. He has excuses for his dps every time and is completely unwilling to be talked to about spec, stat hierarchy and his gear. I can only hear "Recount is broken" so many times before I snap on him.

Ok here is the link to a mage in our guild.

His armory, but armory is currently broken so it may not work.

A little back story. I've seen wws parses of mages in naxx 25 gear doing dps over and beyond 5k. I check parses like this to make sure the guild I'm in is on track for things like Ulduar.

Now naxx is NOT the place to be juding your good raiders, I know this ulduar is proving to us who is a good raider and who isnt. Right now its blatently showing to me that this mage of ours, whom is our @#%^ing caster officer (another story), is doing something terribly wrong for his gear level. On deconstructor his average dps was something around 3.5. He is doing no add containment, or very little for that fact, he is just moving out of bombs and pew pewing the boss/heart.

What is wrong with this spec if anything? What exactly should his stat hierarchy be? And above all, is it just proving to my guild that no matter how much gear we throw at a possible terrible player they're going to be absolute windowlickers?

Edit: Link

Edit: Well, the link works now but due to talents being refunded he's 0/0/0. I know he normally runs some form or variation of FFB.

None of our guildies have wws parses which sucks for us.

For raid comp it tends to lean for melee heavy but we always have an elemenal shaman, a moonkin or spriest for hit and earth and moon, unholy dks for ebon plaguebringer, warlock for coe and even a disc priest for buffs.

I dont think there is a buff we don't get from our raid comp. We run melee heavy but its friendly to both melee and caster. We pop hero/blood at about 80% usually to bypass the first tantrum if we can handle it lasts well into the heart phase.

I'll see if I can get a wws parse tonight for our raid one of the officers must have it.

Anyone can run wws just get an addon like loggerhead or clsaver. That also being said I'm not sure if wws is completely accurate yet since patch. That and since the fights are new and timing of cooldowns can make a pretty big difference.

His gear is excellent. Only a bad rotation or whatever can make them do that poorly.

Most people don't realize that you don't have to wait for the spell to be done casting before you hit your next spell. If you wait for your spell to completely finish casting, you are going to lag behind on long fights where others don't wait for it to finish casting.
