hi all i am new to this forum, i hope to get constructive comments!

Other than gear, rotation wise I am pretty much ok, except sometimes during high movement fights my rotation can get really screwed and my dps just sinks. i hope to get tips from experienced spriests out there!

many thanks in advance!

edit: forgot to link my armory:

A few general comments:

-You're gemming straight Intellect and ignoring all socket bonuses.
-You're over hit cap but not reforging out of spirit in to other secondary stats.
-Not optimal enchants on gear that deserves it (epics).

Here's what I'd change, slot by slot:
Helm: You're fine!
Neck: Reforge Spirit -> Haste
Shoulders: Gem +80int/+160haste in yellow
Back: Undo reforge, no reforge needed
Chest: Gem +80int/+haste in yellow and +80int/+160spirit in blue
Bracers: Enchant +170int; Reforge Hit -> Crit
Gloves: Gem +80int/+160spirit in blue; also, where's the Engineering Tinkerer? Or is it not showing up on the armory?
Belt: Gem +80int/+160spirit in blue
Pants: You're fine! (If using them for PvE)
Boots: You're fine!
Ring1 (Seal): Reforge Mastery -> Crit
Ring2 (Ring): You're fine!
MH: You're fine!
OH: Reforge Spirit -> Haste

This should put you only a few (~3 points? could be ~10 points...reforge rounding in my head could be off by 1 per) points below hitcap, which is essentially being hit capped. It also gets you more out of your gear because you'll be getting and using every socket bonus.

first of all thanks for your reply!

Don't know if it's just me but I've always had that misconception of just gemming all sockets with pure intellect gems as I could get more intellect out of them.

so, socket bonus takes priority even if it means lower intellect?

Because the amount of secondary stats available from gems have doubled in Mists, it is better to opt for bonuses (although I assume only Int and maybe Haste ones?)
