Hi! Okay, my main spec is Retribution and I'm having some trouble with my dps. On average it's around 10k, which is just terrible.
Rotation:
I usually have this rotation: Inq > CS > HoW > Exo > TV > J > HW > Cons
but it depends, it's a little different when i have several targets. I also have BoM and Seal of Truth active, and throw Guardian of Ancient kings when i can.
The dps seems rather random because sometimes I'm at 17k, but, i don't really get it. I must do something terrible wrong? I'd appreciate some suggestions, help, tips or whatever, i just want to learn more about this class :)
Edit: Forgot to mention, i'm doing pve, not pvp.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##Please don't circumvent the language filter - especially in thread titles

There's no rotation. Come cata we (I think every class actually) has a priority system. Inq must be kept up at all times and CS should be used as much as possible.
Yeah, I'm not very good at the priority system either, so I found this addon,
clcret
which bascially makes a giant picture in the middle of your screen that says which ability to use next for maximum DPS.
And take the point from Eternal Glory and into Blazing Light instead.

clcret is a good "trainer" that gives you a good idea what should your priorities be (I am suspicious if it provides "the best" rotation).

It's better than buttonmashing.

Thanks for the tip, I downloaded it and checked it out :) It worked just fine, but it seems like my old rotation worked better. The addon didn't say anything about Zealotry and HoW, it just basically told me to spam and repeat CS -> TV -> Inq. Usually build up Holy power and it works a little better.
Any other tips? I don't think i need a better rotation because i know what does more damage. But i have no clue, the damage i do is still pretty random :\

Type: /clcret (I think) to add or remove spells from the rotation.

You don't have enough hit or expertise. You're reforging all into mastery which (last I knew) was a bad idea, but last I knew was 4.0.6 so maybe you're right on that count. Your spec and glyphs all look appropriate. I only see one PvP piece and it was probably an upgrade over what you had because weapon damage is so very important.
In short, other than hit/exp, your armory isn't providing clues to say why your DPS is so low. Ergo, I'd look primarily at your rotation.

It worked so much better when i could remove and arrange the rotation in it :) Thanks, very helpful! Didn't know there was that kindof addons out there.
Pezz: Yeah i know. I had hit capped and the expertise was high, but then some dude said i may do more damage with more mastery. So i just reforged what i could into it :) It helped a little, but i need to reforge some of it back. Thanks :)

Reforge and gear to Hit cap and Expertise to 26. Replace your
Charred Glyph
with
Charred Glyph
That should bump you up at least 3k DPS if you are following the correct rotation.
Keep working with CLC Ret. Its biggest help is that it allows you to focus less on your rotation, and more on movement, and boss mechanics, while still keeping your DPS high.
Rotation:
I usually have this rotation: Inq > CS > HoW > Exo > TV > J > HW > Cons
Go Into CLC, and set that as your spell priorities. CLC will tell you when you are in range of your target, and knows when your target is below 20% health. It also know when your have your wings up. So it will tell you when to use HoW. CLC is probably the biggest increase in my DPS and survivability in a raid.
Cheers,
Hat

You will do even better dps if you didn't have the tank shoulders,and pvp relic,
with the pvp weapon being debaitable
. Second thought go get the Axe or Mace for ZA/Zg there alot better then the pvp weapon.
Some of your reforges are way off. Example any gear that has Haste should have haste reforged its our worse stat.
I would suggest that you go somewhere like Mr.Robot or another reforge site and let them fix your gear.
With your gearing level you should be over 20k.

Sounds like a (partial) Wowhead Paladin forums success story. :)
