From your summary

1Stay with the boss in Phase 2. Big gain

Do: Stay on the Doomscale Warden and cleave it into the eggs. Your Holy Power comes from auto-attacks, so time away costs Final Verdicts too.
Why: Phase 2 was 106k DPS against 233k for a typical Ret. Getting halfway there is about 19k DPS over the whole pull.
Show me

3Keep pressing

Divine Toll. Medium gain

Do: Press it every minute, and line one up with the second Venomous Heart at 4:45.
Why: You stopped after 3:56 on a 7:53 pull, about three casts missed.
Show me

Your Heart timing was good.

Avenging Wrath and Execution Sentence landed in both Venomous Heart windows, with your potion in the first.

You pressed it 20 times in this phase; typical Rets 29. Press Hammer of Wrath before Blade of Justice when it has 2 charges.

Cooldown · ~5kPress Wake of Ashes when it's ready.

It was back at 2:21 and sat ready for the rest of this phase. The Venomous Heart takes double damage from 2:16 in this phase. You pressed it 4 times in this phase; typical Rets 5.

Your job as Ret iCollect eggs and break them in the Spectral Coils soaks (two teams on Heroic). Dodge Caustic Waves, which come from the side of the wing Ula'tek pulls back and spawn a deadly Viper if they hit an egg carrier. After two cycles, Rage of the Shackled exposes the Venomous Heart, which takes 100% more damage for 20 seconds.

Save your second Avenging Wrath, potion, and trinkets for the Venomous Heart window, and target the Heart. Freedom assignments on the tanks clear Hobbled after Mother's Wrath.

Your job as Ret iThe raid splits to the two side platforms. Kill the Doomscale Warden, break Grasping Fangs tethers two at a time, carry eggs to the Cauldron, and interrupt the Weakened Doomscale's Anguished Cry.

Divine Storm when the Warden and eggs are near each other; Final Verdict when it's just the Warden. Watch the tether breaks: each one puts a raid-wide DoT on both platforms.

Time lost iDPS here only counts time alive, so the death isn't in this number.You died to Volatile Purge at 6:45, 68 seconds before the pull ended.

It still cost about 10.5M damage the raid had to make up.

Your job as Ret iPlatforms. Serpent's Bite soaks for melee, ranged, and healer groups, Volatile Purge spreads, Caustic Waves with gaps, and Circling Prey breaking the melee platform. Kill Blightscale Shriekers fast. Ends in a final heart phase.

Melee stays on the boss platform. Soak the melee Serpent's Bite, rotate platforms before Circling Prey, and use a defensive on the second platform break. Save burst for the final heart phase.

How you pressed buttons iYour presses on pull 12 compared to top Rets on their kills.

Pull 12: 4 things to fix, plus haste and button speed

33 presses a minute vs 49 for top Rets, 42 for a typical Ret

Why you pressed less

Haste: about 4% fewer pressesiThe global cooldown is the wait after each instant press. Haste shortens it. This is measured outside Avenging Wrath and haste buffs, so it compares gear, not cooldowns. Many top players also get Power Infusion from a priest.

Your global cooldown was 0.99s, top Rets 0.95s, so haste costs you about 4% of your presses.

Long pauses: about 4% fewer pressesiTime with nothing happening: no global cooldown running, no cast or channel. Moments when most of the raid's melee also stopped (the boss moved or couldn't be hit) are left out.

5 times you went 4 seconds or more without pressing anything; top Rets: about 5. At 1:41 (4s), 3:40 (10s), 4:01 (10s), 4:15 (12s), 5:35 (13s). Worth a look on your video: moving, a mechanic, or out of range?

Button speed: about 4% fewer pressesiHow quickly each press follows the last when you're not moving: within a quarter of a second of the global cooldown, cast or channel ending counts as on time.

69% of your presses came right as the last one finished (top Rets 82%). Short pauses add up to 8.7s a minute (6.3s).

What you pressed

Buttons inside Avenging WrathiDuring Avenging Wrath, Judgment turns into Hammer of Wrath. Compares how often you pressed each button per minute while Avenging Wrath was up with typical players of your spec on their kills.

Inside Avenging Wrath you press your buttons in about the same mix as typical Rets.

Wake of Ashes on cooldowniThe middle gap between your presses. A few deliberate holds don't move it much.

40s between presses (cooldown 30s); top Rets 34s. Keep it near the top of your list: press it as it comes back. With a 30-second cooldown, it sat ready about 10 seconds between your presses, and every wait that long costs damage you don't get back.

Holy Power wasted: 32%iHoly Power gained while you're already at the cap is lost. Some waste can't be avoided, especially from Walk Into Light.

Top Rets waste 27%. Some waste is normal for Ret.

Time in melee: IntermissioniCrusading Strikes is your auto-attack, not a button, so how often it lands shows how long you stayed in melee.

Crusading Strikes per minute: Phase 1 28 vs 35 · Phase 2 16 vs 29 · Intermission 2 vs 14 · Phase 3 26 vs 35. About 81% fewer hits in Intermission means time out of range.

2Dodge more, and help on Phase 3 eggs and adds. Medium gain

Do: For Caustic Waves, move to the side opposite the wing Ula'tek pulls back. In Phase 3, swap to eggs and adds as they spawn.
Why: You took about twice the raid's avoidable damage, which is healing the raid needs for Phase 3.
