I tend to used avenging wrath at the start of a fight now, then pop zealotry when it’s no longer active. Essentially I can crit for 20k+ every 3-4 attacks using this and my dps completely outshines what I was able to pull in 3.3. Mind you on shorter fights (older WoTLK bosses) I hardly end up using zealotry at all and can use HoW pretty much the entire fight.

I forgot to add that I had a substantial increase in my DPS with the 4.0.1 changes. I am not sure how people have shown a decrease in their DPS other than they dont understand how to use the new abilities. I really hope any tweaks that Blizzard makes are small. I would like to see the current system given a chance with level 85 raiding before any major changes were made.

I really like the new rotation with the Holy Power generation. There could be a few tweaks to some abilities to not waste Holy Power and eliminate some of the downtime(if you even have any as it is). I believe though that at 85 the rotation will become tighter with better stats on gear. I am really enjoying having to make choices in which abilities to use rather than playing whack-a-mole.

Blizzard always seems to have an interesting take on their own content. Sometimes it seems like they only develop it theoretically and don’t play it, lol. We do have to keep in mind though that our specs aren’t made for 80 raiding anymore, despite out performing 3.3, they are rough around the edges.
