Thats right kiddies, built in threat reduction -finally-
Ret just became a viable raid spec with this change, along with all the other buffs in PTR I've been able to maintain top 3 DPS in BT, SSC, EYE, etc etc.

And Yes that is with us all having tier 5 level gear so :P  Hunter changes seem to have pushed them a bit higher, but thats fine.  I wans't "trying" to be a dps hog, I was Simply working DPS macro's and keeping judgements up + cleansing and spot healing AND I still maintained my DPS rating (sustained 1013 dps on Gruul lol)

Sadly they haven't fixed Illumination as promised, it is still at 60% (and no word to us holy pallies as to why).

Incidently, take off Plus haste rating enhancments to your 2 handers pallies. they degrade your dps greatly now.  Procs timers are now tied directly to weapon speed, longer swing timers = higher Proc %.  Crits are also higher on longer swings (better for pvp as healing is harder vs wild crits lol).  incidently CS works like shot rotation for hunters, use it mid swing timer and you gain an extra proc rotation (2 you can get 3 crits back to back if you crit the 1st time).

Anyway I'm going back to two shotting OP warlocks lol
