Hey Fulg, good to talk again
For my "reforging"; I usually use Askmrrobot, but was concerned about the way it put me 0.76% over hit rating; thinking it could go into a better stat, so i tested out WoWreforge lite, which is kind of crap; never got around to change it b/c i have finals this week.
I completely agree with you that haste > Master , nothing like a 1.9 sec starfire. Pew pew so hard.
For all the H jin fights, they wanted us to stand on the edge during the dance phase. so all ranged were away from the boss and couldn't keep dots up;its just the way our guild decided to do it, b/c some players are bad and dancing(shuffling twerking wobbling dougie xD Kate upton is hot)
4/16 H Jin: 94.2 % / 92.7%
The way that this guild did the boss, was that they dragged out the boss; and they wanted people to drop the electric balls on the outside of the area; so i believe i ranged the boss and dots fell off

For CD usage, it was one of those times where we were like an hour or 2 into trying to kill the boss, so i started testing different stuff out. I would save CA/incarn for hero/puddle | but i may have mishit my potion on my keyboard; ive done this a couple times, i try and prevent it.
4/23 H Jin:
I remember this 100% clearly b/c i dont like dying. It was during the 3rd puddle phase. Everyone was topped off , around 85% and for some reason I was hovering around 50%. I was sitting at 50% for about 4-5 seconds wondering why i wasnt getting topped off, and i took some splash damage and died.
4/25 Megaera :
I dont know if you noticed from the logs, but on 4/25 it was a really off raid day; the group only had 1 or their 5 core healers, so im sure you know but we wiped to N about 3 or 4 times. Isnt it better to sacrifice 2 gcd's to get like 3 or 4 instant starsurge procs? its more direct damage on the focus head? for BS, im truly working on it, usually i will pop on every stack up time, its just i was looking a lot at raid frames, just incase tranq needed to be used.
4/25 Durumu,
Im actually curious what do you during the maze phase? Let me know, I usually just leave a dot up and spam the other lit up dot , b/c boomkin moving = sucks.;
H horridon; i use symbiosis on mage to get mirror image to drop threat, if i somehow get aggro.
There seems to be a very big opportunity cost on H horridon; (dps boss or adds) (choosing to use certain defensive GCD's over "attacks); i can admit there are simple mistakes like lining up CD's but on the attempts i try and find out what is best for the raid, If some adds need to be down quickly i will use CD's in beginning, if not i will save for add's time. This throws off some of my timing, but ends up benefiting the raid. Idk if you looked too closely into the logs, but i used CD's in begging a lot in one raid, and used on first pair of adds in another raid. It depends on the comp that we were running at the time, and the imperative-ness of getting the adds down. I really dont take too much Damage on Horridon, so i dont really use BS too much; i try and save it for if something gets really bad instead of using it for a stomp and not having it up; just in case you know. For a couple attempts we would get to part 2 and a tank would die, If his stacks need to drop i would just run in pre-emptively and pop ursocbearOPstam/BS/HotW and try and tank for a couple hits until his stacks drop. - usually with some varying degree of success.
To answer your final question, Why you should bring me on instead of another boomkin applicant, i can tell you i am a 100% dedicated player. I know it sounds pretty standard, but i get my 3 coins every week; i did oondasta / nalak every week until i didnt need the gear; this often goes unchecked, but is really important in getting progression done, "free" gear is a big part of downing bosses.
My raid awareness is 100% always. Although my CD's might not always align, im always worried about wiping and when to use my CD's to benefit the raid. Whether this be using tranq and Hotw; on the 2nd door of H horridon, if we happen to have too many stacks of the poison debuff, etc ill know when to use it to always help out the healers. I am always concerned with spacial reasoning/awareness. Definitely on 10/12 boss and 11/12 boss. I know what the mechanics do and how far away i have to be so that the people all around me also have room do to what they have to do. This might sound silly, but i think it is imperative in a 25m raid to not only worry about one's self but also others so there is maximum performance for a raid. therefore building a better friendship and player base.
Other things you may not be seeing in the logs is proper buffs. Of course the flask/food; of course i have the ability to use the 300 food if an attempt calls for it. I do my daily to always get the iron paw token. When someone says a raid starts at 9:00 and we start pulling trash at 9, ill be 1/25 people with the flask on pulling trash. Kind of disappointing, but i do put the extra step forward in showing that i am a prepared raider. If we go over the time limit, and my flask runs out; i will pop the extra one, Therefore i use "twice" as many flasks as other people. Im always on time, i live by the quote of my baseball coach " if youre early youre on time, if youre on time; youre late". Being said, im in the instance at the start of raid time helping to summon other people if they are not there. If there is a reason why i cannot make raids, i will clearly let you guys know in advance in forums and other things. also reminding you guys so you know that i wont be there. However this should not happen.
Many people say that its just a game, but in a 25m raid if there are 24 other guys depending on you to raid its important to not let them down as a group b/c then youre wasting 24 peoples times. Personality wise, i think i bring a fun and positive attitude to the raid. I always am happy to raid and bring "enjoyment" to the raid if times are "tough". I think tinymanz can vouch for me that i am a fun player to raid with; he knows im a good guy at heart haha.
I think just morally, i can stand out from other boomkin applicants; just because im dedicated.
Currently I'm trialing with my guild; and i don't think its the right fit for me. They kind of lack a bit of leadership; its nothing against them, they are a good group of players, just not a good fir for me. They think im too serious for asking if everyone got their coins and are 100% ready to raid.
