Mut DPS Question - I read the stickies

Ok thx for reading. My armory is in my sig. I have read the stickies and have the rotation for mut down. I love playing rogue over my DK and Pally cuz of the attention required so I hope I get some good advice besides l2p. I know better gear/enchants, etc will increase my dps but I need to know why I am only doing 1k (in heroics) with what I got. My 75 DK does 1.2 with the crappy gear he has... My snd and hfb never go down, I try to attack from behind when possible and keep rupture up almost 100%. I'm using Instant/Deadly posions. Any advice would be awesome cuz rogues kick ass and I'd like to play past heroics with him.

Your mutilate DPS will really start to go up once you can hit and maintain your Poison Hit Cap and Expertise Cap. Another thing I noticed was that my rogue as a fresh 80 felt energy starved, I found that once my gear was sitting around 30% crit unbuffed the returns from focused attacks made it less so.
I'd say just farm heroics (1k dps, unless the entire group is pulling that, isn't an issue really) for badges, buy gear, get friends/guildies to carry u through raids, and just keep getting upgrades. Don't worry too much about pulling 1k right now, if u read the stickies and you are maintaining 100% SnD up time and 100% HfB uptime then u are doing the right things and your gear is holding you back.
Now if you come back and say "RAWR my gear has 4200AP and 39%crit, I'm hit and expertise capped and I've read the stickies and preform the rotation perfectly every time and still pull 1k dps," we might start to flame u. I'd be hard pressed to find a rogue with those stats who couldn't pull 1k by simply autoattacking a raid boss dummy.

Thx for the response. I also noticed our rogues are on same server lol... and you're dk is sick. I wish I had more than 10hrs a week to play... I'll just keep gutting it out. The only good thing I notice about having crap dps is that the dks and pallys are too busy telling each other how op each other are so they are too busy to notice... lol

lawl, feel free to hit me up in game to run some heroics if you want. I'm usually on a fair amount so just add me to friends and we can knock some @#$% out.

If you keep up snd via envenom, rupture at 4 or 5 cps, and hfb, just autoattacks should put you at 2k dps even in blues / greens in heroics. When you get better gear, it becomes less important to focus on rotations and it becomes more about rolling the envenom buff during cp building (or as often as possible at a certain gear level, it becomes very easy to have over 80% uptime on envenom). Dont cap your energy and dont let any buffs fall off for now, worry about maximum dps from burst dps during envenom and such when you have at least 300 hit and 30% crit

315 hit rating or 12% spell hit (since you have 5% from precision) and its called the poison hit cap because poisons are spells and hit their hit cap much faster than the dual wield cap.
