**Note: much of this post is reused from the last version, but the comments there were left over several patches, so I’m updating it and reposting. 0/15/56 is the survival spec that gets me the most DPS. Lets go over the basics, and why I took (or didn’t take) things. In general, you want to [...]

Continuing my series of posts on how to trapdance on specific bosses, today we’re going to talk about Patchwerk, Grand Widow Faerlina, and Maexxna.

Edit: the macros in this post are no longer valid- here‘s the post 3.1 version. As a hunter, your job is to pump out as much hurt to your raid’s target as possible. You have a multitude of shots you can use to do this, but it’s not easy to watch so many damn cooldowns! [...]
