Hey guys
I'm using
this Blood spec
and with my gear I pull about 2.7-3k Heroic 5man DPS.
This is my rotation: IT>PS>HS>HS>DS>dump
But what do I do after I did that? Maybe some sort of priority list with refreshing diseases, HB, DS and dump?
After the main rotation, I just use whatever is off cooldown, but I don't know whether HS goes before DS or not.
Please help me here

Better gear from raids and you will do more. Nothing wrong about 2.7k in heroics.
I know, but it's the rotation I'm worrying about. Please help me with that.

Kyura, there is a thread in the Helpful threads section on 2h Blood. the rotation is still the same. Read the thread. It doesn't matter that it wasn't updated because the rotation never changed.

So HS is the main option, not DS? And DS is only to make Death runes?

DS is 2 runes, HS is 1 rune. So unless DS is doing more than double the damage of HS, then HS has a higher amount of damage per rune. And unless your unable to use all 6 runes in less than 10 seconds then its all about getting the most damage per rune.
This is why HS has a higher priority than DS, because DS damage is not twice as much or more of HS even though it costs twice as much to use. Which means all you use DS for is to make use of otherwise useless frost/unholy runes and convert them to death runes to be used by the higher damage output ability HS.

I'm with Buzak on this one, in my 2nd rotation I spam 2 DS & 2 HS for the self heal benefit but also I can sit there in H VH for example, and watch my DS hit for 12K and then my HS hit for 14K, and then in the next rotation they hit for almost identical amounts. Either the HSx4 or the DSx2 HSx2 is a viable option for maximum DPS..and for me having the self heals that DS gives combined with the huge damage is good enough reason for me to still use it often.
Why not make it easier on your healer and use the self heals & damage if you got it. It makes their job easier and to again piggy back on the above post, live dps is better than dead dps because healers aren't perfect either.
In all honestly. The ~2.5k extra healing you do to yourself, doesn't change "much". The healing doesn't out value the damage.
2500 healing each 20sec is 2500/20 = 125hps.
In my dps crap gear (4188ap with Horn). 1xDS over 2xHS is around a 175dps loss. Sadly don't have a exact number.
So 125hps vs. 175dps.
That's the case in MY gear, it will obviously be other numbers in your gear/spec/rotation/etc. But imo that little extra healing each 20sec is not worth it.

The only time I would suggest prioritizing DS is on nasty healing fights.
Sapphiron is a great example if your healers are really bad.
Korolan is also an example if your healers are struggling and you fear incoming death.
Dead dps is no dps after all, but if your healers are doing a fair enough job you would be better served to the raid focusing on more dps to kill the boss faster.
