Okay, actually, it's going to be run of the mill WoW type stuff, and won't be terribly funny or anything, but you can feel free to laugh anyways. Please.
Without further ado, I present to you:
Things-I-Do-That-Are-BAD
Use a /stopcasting Blink macro. First of all, it doesn't work. You have to tap it twice and it's still sluggish. But really, when do you need to cancel a cast and blink? When you're stunned, dummy. An event you generally know is coming. You're better off with a normal bind and just mashing your face into blink midcast. (<3>) Using AP and PoM cooldowns simultaneously. I mean I don't always. But AP alone provides enough damage burst as long as your instants are up to force any and all defensive cooldowns. I use this against tough (read: not fucking tragically bad) rogues in duels. AP, trinket, blastwave, fireblast etc. off the start. I almost never split AP and PoM up in arenas though... Ice Block too fucking late...still. Undecided on this but...Max Rank Mana Shield at the start vs rogues? I mean Molten Armor no longer procs though shields. (Please kill yourself idiots running 0/17/44) You also generally have an extra global at some point anyways... One problem against teams like war/lock/dru is when you CS cyclone and are DPSing the lock or dru, you know the dru will go bear and feral charge your next cast, then bash the following one. As frost, you can just scorch as your first cast and just watch the dumb bear awkwardly sit there. While casting each scorch, mash frostbolt, if he FCs, you'll quickly start the cast, which he will quickly bash, you can either blink or trinket or wait depending on sitch and get off a decent nuke. (If war and lock both have downs that is...) Okay that's all cool beans for frost, but for fire, you can't let fire tree eat a CS, and with imp blink, you WANT to blink the bash, so missiles is out of the question. Right now, I try to fake cast with scorch the FC, but this seems BAD. What's the right play... Letting sheep drop combat WAY too often. (Deny charge/stealth omg) Never making use of gouge to get off casts in 2s. (Okay, I only take partial blame) Way too obsessed with using dagger to take out totems to "save a global." Then again, at least I don't fucking WAND totems. Using s3 gloves as fire. (S2 are almost certainly better) I can't EVER ice lance warriors out of charge, and thus I eat a lot of charges -- I still tank charge, Blink is the best play. Pre-tbc it was considered nub to blink charges, but there's really no reason not to now. You end up with a warrior on you with less rage and without intercept when he comes out of poly. Plus with imp blink, you can really just cast poly out of blink and leave the war somewhat fucked on whether to intercept or not.
