Record some raids for World of Logs and link them here, much more helpful than an armory.
I can't really see much on your armory that I think shouldn't be there (I've never really played shadow though) except for the intellect trinket.

You're over hitcap (which would be 289). Your gemming also seems off in some places - you have a healer meta and some mana efficiency gems where you should gem for throughput, I assume this is because you use the same gear for healing. It will affect your performance somewhat.

Also, your rotation is off. Your opener should be something like this:
Apply VT and DP (which you do first doesn't really matter. They have the same priority.
Use a full MF to get 5 stacks of Shadow Weaving.
Apply SW:P.

Then refresh VT and DP every time they fall off without clipping, after you've done that use MB when available and fill the gaps with MF. Don't forget to use your trinkets.

And replace that Int trinket. Get the one from ToC normal, it's better.


Also, what Aethien said, logs would be helpful.


Edit: I'd strongly recommend getting T10 tier pieces. Get four of them, in fact. Run VoA for the two you can get there. Once you have the four piece bonus, remove Mind Blast from your rotation.

Not to derail, but why is it you need 5x Shadow Weaving before applying/refreshing Shadow Word: Pain? I know Shadow Weaving gives additional damage, but isn't that calculated into the new Shadow Word: Pain when Mind Flay refreshes it? Like how they made sure that Affliction Warlocks couldn't pop cooldowns and get a super infinite Corruption running with Everlasting Affliction? It checks your current stats when it refreshes.

Doesn't apply to Priests?

% damage modifiers stay with the initial modifier for things you refresh.
So if you use SW: Pain at 2 stacks it's at +4% damage for the entire fight unless you manually renew it.

Hunters (ab)use this mechanic/flaw by refreshing serpent sting when the pet's +3% damage buff and the 2pcT10's 15% damage buff are up for an additional 18.something% damage done by serpent sting and chimera shot's SrS part for an entire fight.

Oh. So Affliction Warlocks should refresh Corruption during Bloodlust/Heroism to get a permanent 20% haste on their ticks (if they're glyphed, which I hope they are).

This is an interesting use of mechanics.

Last time I checked, SW:P was actually not affected by stuff like BL, at least all the theorycrafting places say not to recast it even with BL/trinkets/IF etc. up.

It only works with % damage modifiers, not haste or spellpower.

Bummer, thought it worked with all percentages.

On a completely unrelated note, I started refreshing Serpent Sting during % damage modifiers and pushed 2k ST DPS on my Hunter. At level 77. I feel like an Arcane Mage.

But enough about off-topic nonsense awesome.
