Stickies are stickied for a reason.

What you need to do is start out with casting "Read Sticky". if that doesn't work, then chain cast "Read Sticky" until it does.
ok in all seriousness... You've got T10 so the game is a little different for you. You'll definitely want to concentrate on having at least 289 hit (unless you're a draenei, then it's 264) and gem for Spellpower and Haste (
Reckless Ametrine
is key). These things are what you'll be doing regardless of having 4pc T10 or not.
Basically, the power of 4pc T10 is that it allows you some elbow room in your casting rotation, but you STILL need to keep up VT, DP, and SWP (which will be refreshed if you have
PnS
). You'll basically keep up your DoTs and cast Mind Blast off cooldown and use Mind Flay otherwise.
MANY players choose to eliminate Mind Blast from their rotation except to keep up Replenishment. This is really player preference, but hasn't been proven clearly to be a DPS increase. It just makes life easier. Never
EVER
EVER
EVER
EVER
(unless you're dying or gonna die... so I guess... sometimes) clip your mind flay if you have 4pc T10.

ty oscardivine, since i have 27% crit i should get trinket with crit from gunship instead of TOC 5 man,does ''improved mind blast '' does dps diference? cause i see players that dont put talents on it and would like to know if it's better casting mind flay instead of putting my talents in improved mind blast and rather cast it much more times
Your first priority is to get hit capped. Consider everything else after that. Missing spells is the worst thing you can do.
now if you're still at 27% crit (or lower) after getting fully hit capped, you may want that Gunship trinket (it's FANTASTIC). If you need to fill in that trinket slot with a +Hit trinket, then do so and don't think of it as a DPS decrease.
Improved Mind Blast is a talent that people with 4pc T10 don't always use because they aren't casting MB as often, however, I still put my points into it. Never know when you might want it! This conversation is making me want to rethink my spec a bit though.
Edit: the 20% healing reduction is very minimal and is pretty much useless/negligible in PVE, though you WILL want it for PVP.

ty for replies- i think i can become hit capped easy either 245 item lvl trinket with ''use'' haste or i could also out 20hit rate gem in ashen verdict ring
If you're going to use gems, I recommend using
Veiled Ametrines
because you can split the hit between multiple gems and have some help earning socket bonuses. Don't forget to keep your
Chaotic Skyflare Diamond
activated though!

Oscar, your information is out-dated. There are instances when dropping Mind Blast is beneficial to someone's dps. This is however reliant on their spellpower, haste, latency and personal skill.
I know this goes well beyond the initial purpose of this thread, but I felt like I needed to rectify some of what was said just now. Even though Oscar means well, and his information was correct before 3.3, this is no longer the case. :)
I purposely left it ambiguous for the exact reasons that you pointed out. Please re-read the post. I don't say that it is clearly a DPS increase or decrease.
I'm not quite seeing where we're disagreeing here Baghram?
edit: I never said use Reckless Ametrines for red sockets?

well i guess I did say:
MANY players choose to eliminate Mind Blast from their rotation except to keep up Replenishment. This is really player preference, but hasn't been proven clearly to be a DPS increase. It just makes life easier.
but of course I really meant that it isn't a clear DPS increase for all situations.

alright, but I'm not going to sit and argue semantics. Yes 23 SP > 12SP+10Haste in a red slot. I wasn't trying to say that you should gem Reckless in all slots. that would be... Reckless.
