If possible, please try to provide a screenshot of your UI in a raiding setting. If you aren't able to get one from inside a raid, a screenshot of it from a battleground will suffice.

With blizzard adding optional "hard-modes" to future encounters, we're intending to beat the more difficult version of each fight, not just the basic version. Are you prepared to spend the time re-learning encounters to beat them in their hardest incarnations? yes indeed

Are you prepared to sit out if an encounter requires a certain raid composition for which you are not ideal? ofc thats np

How do you fill your playing time when not raiding? dailys or grinding or playing alts

Raiding's not cheap. Flasks, potions, buff food, and of course repairs all cost money and time, and so does keeping your gear gemmed and chanted properly. Are you able to support your raiding expenses? What consumables do you typically use? frostwyrm flask and fish feasts (raid wise) or shoveltusk ( sp )

Why have you chosen your particular spec/class? How familiar are you with your class' other specs? Would you be willing to respec if the raid required it? Do you have dual-spec?think i know my class well i have dual specc atm its a pvp tanking one np to change it to affliction iff needed

Do you use external resources (such as 3rd party forums, spreadsheets, simulations) to research your class and spec? Give examples if so.
mmo champions

What professions have you chosen on your raiding character? How do they benefit you in raids?
herb /alch flasks last for 2 hrs
Please provide a recent combat log parse (e.g. WWS, WMO, WoL) of your character in a raid environment if you have access to one.

Any additional things you'd like to add?.
well i hope to get a chance to join Bloodpack and if i get it i will try my best not to dissapoint

hiya, whats you rotation?

immolate - incinerate - conflagrate - chaosbolt - incinerate ( untill immolate has to be redone or coflagrate is of cd )

so you dont use any curses?

and using a backdraft cd on a shortcast as Chaos Bolt is a dps loss

Some things about your gearing seem a bit odd to me. You're running an extraordinary 18.91% hit, whilst wearing a lot of hit items, that, I suspect, you could have probably obtained alternatives to. You're running 2 part t9 with 3 part t8 - I'd have thought that four part t8 set bonus would out-weigh the two part t9 set bonus + stats increase from 1 232 t9 and 1 245 t9. I've not done any research into the matter and could well be wrong, that's just what my intuition tells me, based on how much of Badangel's damage is Incinerate, and how much is her imp - any thoughts on the matter?

Aside from these points, you did gloss over a fair number questions that I value quite highly, and your answers were generally very short, so I don't really feel I know that much about you. If you could dig out a screenshot of your UI in a PvE situation (heroic, raid, or as a last resort, AV) and upload it that would be appreciated. Beyond that, I know it's not exactly easy to sell yourself to a bunch of strangers, but if you could give us something that makes connect with you a bit.

By example: outside of raiding, what do you enjoy doing in-game? Are you an achievement whore? Do you spend hours ganking allies in battlegrounds, or do you prefer the more controlled environment of arenas? Or do you find PvP boring, and just concentrate on PvE? Do you enjoy going back to visit old content, or maybe you're an altoholic? Why do you enjoy WoW - have you tried other MMOs? Were you tempted to give Aion a whirl? Anyway, those are just examples, but it would be nice to have something beyond your rather brief answers to go on.

Well as for the part of badangel the curses part was done by other locks in the raid but ofc a curse of elements would be the first to go up
or curse of weakness . can drop chaosbolt from the rotation if it boosts my dps
The last few days i've been going to ZG and AQ40 to help grind some rep for other guildies who wanted it and basicly to see the instance because i never done them before.
I do like to go for the achievements
I'm always prepared to help out other guildies ( if its possible) in anyway i can
nearly done with all the world events to get my proto drake
pvp wise i like to do wg or other bg to try to get some achievements
gear wise i know i'm over hit capped but tried to get some haste gear to replace it but as our loot system is or was bassed on officers call after linking current items never got the chance to replace.The same goes for the fourth part t8.5 ( gloves ).Even doing VOA didnt help on that.
When the t9 dropped for me (gloves) i went for the bonus from that as it would boost my imps dmg.
I have an account opened on Aion but i'm playing it more casual as i like wow still more.
and when not raiding i also craft some stuff from alchemy or bs (alt holy palla ) or leatherworking ( feral druid) and selling it on AH to give me the moneeeeey
or ofc grinding the mats for that.
I'll try to figure out how to post a screenshot as i have never done this tbh
I hope this has cleared up a few things as it indeed is hard to sell myself i tried my best
Oh nearly forgot on the alcoholic part i'm not one of those ( i think ) but i do like to go for a brew fest with my mates from time to time.

think you misunderstood abit of what i said, but what i ment is that Chaos Bolt which are a short cast, should not be used on the 3 bakdraft procs, but either inbetween immolate and conf or after 3 bakdrafts depending on cds etc. ofc when its a very short dps race ie portals on Jaraxxas it should be used on backdraft cd as the dps race is so short as you prob wont be able 2 do immolate- curse- conf -inc- inc- inc -chaos bolt so putting a chaos bolt in there would be higher dps then 3 inc.

as for the bonus sets, 2 part t9 is better than 4 part t8 for destro imp locks. as you gain about 5-6% crit and also boosts the dmg of the imp and the stats are alot better if you get the proper pieces, the most senseble 2 get is gloves, head, leggs as t9 and keep chest/shoulders t8 until you get a rly decent upgrade like Merlins Robe as far as what ive seen of loot now. chest and shoulders t9 is pretty shitty unless you cant afford 2 loose hit, and until blizz fixes the set bonus its utter crap to have 4 t9. Now ofc what is bis for you would always depend on what you can afford of stats!

getting rid of hit is easy enough once you get the chance to actually get some pieces of loot, armory is bugging atm so cant see your 1.trinket, but from the icon id say its living flame you have which is a huge chunck of hit, and if you combine replacing that, and your offhand it would be easy enough to lower your hit into a more ideal %

thx for the advise on the rotation will put it to good use.
as for the gear youre right on the trinket as i mentioned i tried to replace some hit gear but didnt get the chance for it
i couldnt obtain a fourth t8.5 piece so thats why i thought it wouldnt be bad to equip the t9 gloves to get a bonus for my imps dps.
t8.5 shoulders would have been nice to get only problem there was the guild only downed yogg once and than bassicly people moved to Aion.
Anyways thx again for the advise always nice to learn more to improve
Merlins robe is nice to say the least only problem are the crusader orbs :s
