Overview

This is a build focuses on Burning and Bleeding and offers high damage with a relatively simple rotation, particularly on large targets.

Additionally, skills like Heat Sync and Sand Squall allow you can maintain permanent Fury and Might on yourself and party (provided you have some other source of Fury) for a minor DPS loss.

• If you do not have time (e.g. during pre-events) to pre-cast Glyph of Lesser Elementals a few times, then Glyph of Storms may be a stronger choice.

Utility

The difference in these two utilities is roughly 0.5% dps, so use what you feel you can afford.

Usage

• Use Glyph of Elementals and cast Flame Barrage off cooldown.
• You want to cast Glyph of Elemental Power, Signet of Fire and Arcane Power off cooldown.
• If using Glyph of Storms, then cast it off cooldown.

The gist of the rotation is to camp Fire Attunement, using almost all your skills off cooldown.
