Correct.... I don't get 33K in a heroics. Hell, I don't usually get in
in a raid. The stars were aligned, crits were going my way and the
such. I was just jazzed to see the 30K barrier break, even if it was a
25 second burst on a burn phase.
On a 5 man, I only run arcane now, and usually end with a 14-19K
average, depending if I'm cc'ing for any reason. (ie - keeping the
purple trogg sheeped during the first boss in H Grim batol) There are
two hunters in my guild, with lower gear than me who still usually out
dps me though. 12-13K is really pretty good in heroics an nothing to
sneeze at :)
