*
Lightning Bolt if 5 stacks Maelstrom Weapon
*
Stormstrike
*
Earthshock
*
Lava Lash
*
Refresh Totems and Shields

5 Stacks of MW Lightning bolt
Stormstrike (if no debuff is up)
Earthshock (if SS debuff is up)
Stormstrike (if debuff is allready up)
Lava lash
Refresh shields/Magma totem

Elitist Jerks says that you should use 3-4 stacks of Maelstrom Weapon to do Lightning Bolt if you've got nothing else to do and can finish the GCD before SS comes off cooldown. No idea how much DPS you'd gain if at all but I end up doing this to clear stacks incase of a lucky Stormstrike > Windfury proc.

Get Shockandawe (an mod) since it helps you with the priority by putting a button to show the next action.

Elesham: It really, really depends on the fight and what we're doing. I think our "priority" as it is will remain unchanged for single target bosses. The only thing that may change is to use Fire Nova when you have nothing else to do. You'll get a few in during a fight, but AT THIS POINT (key term), I don't foresee it out-DPS'ing any of our other abilities enough to give it priority over them.
In AoE fights though, or fights with adds that you can AoE, Fire Nova will become a huge move. Something like P3 H Anub, for instance. Fire Nova would be insane for that fight in terms of personal DPS. The thought of Magma+Fire Nova AoE makes me very happy.
All of this could change, but, that's my view on it after a little time on the PTR.

Fire Nova looks like it will go after shocking and before Lava Lash.

So no guarantees here. If you are lucky then you will see a dps "boost", if you arent you probably lose some
Lucky? There shouldn't be any luck involved, just cast it if you have enough time until your next swing and don't cast it if they are about to hit. Unless you have some major lag timing this shouldn't be too hard.
But it's probably not worth the effort. Concentrating so much on swing timers might make you move out of that fire slower ;)

My Lightning Bolt seems to hit just as hard (at the least) as my main hand/offhand+ft combo, so I don't see myself losing too much if I clip a swing or two. Clearing your stacks so they overflow less if you ask me. Also - why do they say you can burn off a 3-stack? You'd be really likely to clip it... not a good idea unless clipping isn't actually much of (or enough of) a dps loss to force you to avoid it.

Its not luck, its lag

well, i dont know about you, but selfbuffed my 2.6 mainhand swings at 1.8 speed. Taking into account any raidbuffs that give me more haste (do they excist) I think the windows is pretty small (also taking into account lag and many other factors like moving, losing concentration, to much animations wich cover up your toon etc). I really would like to know how you can time it that well.
Besides that i just picked up a 1.8 speed offhand (yeah i know, not slow enough) but considering it used to the the one from the brewfest boss and it now has 196 dps + hit on it... tested on dummy and dps is the same as the 2.6 speed (that does incluse berserking enchant wich i havent on my 1.8)
This is terrible, btw. Using a 1.8 speed offhand will be a considerable DPS decrease over a 2.6 speed weapon nearly without fail, regardless of DPS listed on the weapon. There are a multitude of reasons why, all of which are explained in the link in your signature.
You're crippling yourself and using a test dummy (lolol) and probably a lot of RNG to make a determination. Go back to the Brewfest weapon. It's simply better for you.
