Quote:Point taken, based on theory craft Wrath does 22% more DPS than Starfire, so while Curse of Shadows does narrow the gap, there is still a lead with wrath.
As a side note, it is nearly impossible to maintain a perfect 1.5 second cast on wrath. Due to latency issues starfire does get a boost from the longer cast time. In addition, Starfire DPS goes up with NG procs. With a 25% chance to crit that equates to a 4.2% increase to DPS with Nature's Grace. Between Curse of Shadows, NG procs, and cast latency they may be closer than I originally depict. I'll need to take these issues into account and re-calculate my numbers. Perhaps Wrath is not the clear winner.

One thing I forgot to mention and bolty's post reminded me. Do not forget your /stopcasting macros. Using the GCD timer for doing cast relies on have a /stopcasting macro setup for wrath. Even at a respectable 200ms latency you will be losing over 10% DPS without it.
