I know theres two variations of the MM rotation, I was just crunching numbers and it seems I get more DPS with a hard cast aimed shot rotation. These aren't on training dummies because i knnow about the whole careful aim phase, but what does everyone think? Serpent>Chimera>Steady>Steady>Arcane>Steady>Steady>Chimera and aimed on proc or Serpent>Chimera>Steady>Steady>Aimed>Steady>Steady>Chimera? Maybe it has to do with my gear? IDK but if someone could help me out. I'm a pretty raid aware hunter with solid high DPS but if I can make it better, why not? XD Thanks in advance.
Depending on your haste levels, which should be at plateau, AiS is a little better than arcane shot as a focus dump.
A few factors is mastery procs and crits. Say a hardcast aimed doesn't crit, and instead you could have done 2 arcane shots and an auto shot that all crit and proc'd mastery. You would have definitely been better off casting those arcane shots. In those situations you would have done more DPS with arcanes.
So basically it's random, but when you crunch numbers aimed comes out a little higher.
Factor in movement and arcane easily takes the cake. So rule of thumb is to not hardcast aimed after CA phase. Unless you have bloodlust and rapidfire up at the same time hardcast aimed for sure. You are better off not using rapidfire during bloodlust (unless RF is off cd, either way only save it if you know you aren't getting another one) aimed shot is by far the better focus dump with both haste buffs up.
for the last paragraph about BL+RF. Say your raid pops BL in first 10%, you want to pop rapidfire with lust there. if they pop it in last 10% and you know theres not 3 mins(another RF) left, but only enough time for lust+2RFs (about 70 seconds of the boss fight) you should save RF till after the lust.
