Its been alot of talk to try to improve the guild dps output laitly, so I though i shoud say how I do dps.

First I like to say may rotation could be much better, but I have foud this to be the best way to start dps "week" trash, cuz is often dead within 5 sec, on bosses im not sure but anyway this is how I do DPS; I start with a arcane shot this starts autoshot immidietly so u get 2 shots off at once. Then if it no cc I do a multishot and then I start spamming steady shot. Then i use multishot again when its off cd and then a arcane shot, after that I go back to steady again. and so on if the mob is still alive.

I allways use my trinkets/cooldowns when they are off cd and I use them together in a macro, most of them have a cd of 2min so u can use them In every trash fight in a 25man and 3-5 times during a boss. So I use them as early as posseble. I try to allways use missdirection on tank if its off cd (its 2 min so it fits well with the trinkets/cooldows) even if none are requested by the raid leader, this will help all dps not to take aggro and they can start dps earlier and u can wait a little longer with your first faith death so u can dps harder. And start dps ASAP! when no misdirection is used on tank I wait to the tank got 2-3k aggro before I dps. Watch omen/ktm CLOSELY, I FD right when I overaggro tank. (at bosses it maybe smart to FD 2-3k before u overaggro tank becouse the boss can resist fd) If this happes STOP
attacking! hit esc and relax for 5-10 sec

I also have some haste gear on, so my steady shot takes 1,1 sec (0,6 when i use rapid fire) my autoshot takes 2,00.

thanks for info tom ,-)
dont you think it could be a good thing to start with aimed shot, as it can do around 3 k if it crits ?
Anyway, i pretty much do the same as you do, but i separate in 2 macros my trinkets :

1 : bestial wrath and rapid shot + bloodlust brooch
2 : abacus of violent odd, which increases haste rating

i dont use the 2 together because otherwise i would have 2 haste rating buffs together, which is pointless...
My main macro then spams steady shot and arcane shot.. I guess a little haste gear could greatly improve dps...
Btw , are there any gems taht do that ?

no I dont want to start with a aimed shot cuz it takes too long and autoshot doesnt fire right after, so by the time u fired your 3 sec aimed shot I have fired 1 arcane shot + autoshot and 1 multishot + autoshot, thats 3-7k dmg depends on the crits...

I dont think its any gems with haste.. if u find one let me know :)

I think aimed is pointless for dps, but its nice when fighting a mob that heals ofc :)

as for the haste gear I only think i got the badge chest atm, got the shoulders of lightning relexes in bank.. but i want the cloack from za and the lw wrist, but it cost 4k+..
