Crit Cap
http://elitistjerks.com/f31/t76785-crit_depression_combat_table/p3/#post1548494
That's a link to an EJ thread regarding the white crit cap. Basically, the dude who did the original testing forgot to think about blocks or some shit. Anyway, the thing we need to be concerned with is the fact that our crit caps are no longer where we thought they would be and that you CAN actually remove Hits from your hit table. This would, assuming you're expertise capped like you should be, leave you with only Crits, Misses, and Glancing blows.
Now, if you somehow manage to reach the dual wield hit cap, you can also remove Misses, leaving you only Crits and Glances. This is a rather silly goal and I doubt us Enhancement Shamans will be aiming for it (though you can get it, I'm so close).
The following link is a download to a small spreadsheet that will allow you to calculate your raid buffed crit % and it will also tell you how much room you have until you reach YOUR specific crit cap.

^That's the link explaining the spreadsheet if needed. You simply input your UNBUFFED agility, crit %, and specify your Orcness or non-Orcness. You must have a 1 in one of the race boxes and a 0 in the other. Do not leave either or both of them blank.
Even though I put "New Findings" in the title, this was actually discussed like 2 weeks ago, but I just kept putting off listing it here since I was fairly busy.
That's all I really have for now. Go now, rape the meters!

25m Lich King down!
Last night we finally got him. It was more than obvious that this took way too long to do, but whatever, shit got done. Really wish I didn't lag a lot in that fight, then it might be more fun.
This means we get to do Hard Modes next week, which should give me something to do during raids, and something else to aim for. Maybe I can start Frapsing again once we get to them as well.
We also get to do 10m Hard Modes this week. The gear from there, ilvl 264, is really good. Can't wait to get some of it seeing as I have little to no competition in our group for loot. :P I was listening to the other 10m group do Marrowgar on heroic and it sounded like he hits very fucking hard. This means I'll probably end up being Resto for quite a few bosses until we get more gear and more comfortable with the fights. I don't really mind since Resto is still fun to play. As long as I don't have to go Ele, respecing is OK by me. :D
The 4pc t10 is still pissing me off. Take these 2 Deathbringer parses. One is mine(the first) and the other is some lucky Korean asswipe:

Korean Bitch:

Now, if you check out the Buffs and Debuffs tab, you can see the source of my frustration. Out of my 24 Maelstrom Weapon procs, I got 3 Maelstrom Powers(the 4pc bonus. The Korean, however, managed to get 5 Maelstrom Powers out of his 20 Maelstrom Weapon procs. I would love for this to be explained to me! Screw this random, proc-based bullshit that has been present since the class was put into being. Give me something that I can rely on please.
Now, it's only a 200 dps difference between us, and I still have the top US parse for him, but it really bothers me that my 4pc is a random bonus that could completely fuck you or, once in a blue moon, do what it was designed to do.

10m Lich King Down :o
One of our 10 man groups downed him on Tuesday, but our group didn't get to go until yesterday. In any case, he is dead and we are now Kingslayers. :D
Most ashamedly, I admit I did the fight as Resto. The extra healer really does help when you don't have an OP Beacon bot. Now it's time for 10m heroics, which some guilds have shown in 25m to be extremely doable. Here's hopin.
If you haven't done so already, be sure to update your Enhsim with the latest version. I've been seeing a lot of questions about TAJ and I'm pretty sure they recently updated the sim to fix TAJ's modeling.
