Kept pressing on the platforms.

Last night long stops cost you about 10% of your presses; tonight about 3%, and your Phase 2 was ahead of a typical Unholy DK.

Dark Transformation on cooldown.

Last night it sat ready from 5:44 through the intermission; tonight you pressed it every 48 seconds, the same as top Unholy DKs.

Potion with

Bloodlust.

Your potion went out at 2:09 with Bloodlust, right before the first Venomous Heart.

What happens

Collect 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.

Ahead of a typical Unholy DK. Nothing to fix here.

Your job as Unholy DK 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.

Epidemic only with the Warden and three or more eggs together; with fewer, Death Coil. Watch the tether breaks: each one puts a raid-wide DoT on both platforms.

What happens

Platforms. 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.

How you pressed buttons iYour presses on pull 9 compared to top Unholy DKs on their kills.

Pull 9: 4 things to fix, plus haste and button speed

48 presses a minute vs 52 for top Unholy DKs, 45 for a typical Unholy DK

Why you pressed less

Haste: same as top playersiThe global cooldown is the wait after each instant press. Haste shortens it. This is measured outside Dark Transformation and haste buffs, so it compares gear, not cooldowns. Many top players also get Power Infusion from a priest.

Your global cooldown was 0.96s, top Unholy DKs 0.98s.

Long pauses: no more than top playersiTime 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.

1 time you went 4 seconds or more without pressing anything; top Unholy DKs: about 5. At 3:44 (7s). Worth a look on your video: moving, a mechanic, or out of range?

Button speed: about 7% 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.

86% of your presses came right as the last one finished (top Unholy DKs 92%). Short pauses add up to 7.0s a minute (2.9s).

Time in melee: IntermissioniAuto-attacks only land while you're in range, so how often they hit shows how long you stayed in melee.

Auto-attack hits per minute: Phase 1 28 vs 29 · Phase 2 20 vs 25 · Intermission 5 vs 9 · Phase 3 24 vs 31. About 46% fewer hits in Intermission means time out of range.

1Rotate before

Circling Prey breaks your platform. Big gain

Do: Rotate one platform counter-clockwise before it breaks, and save a defensive like Icebound Fortitude for the second and third breaks.
Why: The second break killed you on the kill, and the raid had to make up about 20 million of your damage without you.
Show me

Falling Debris under control.

Last night it hit you about two and a half times as often as the raid; tonight it hit you 2 of 13 times, right at the raid's rate.

2 of your early deaths were to avoidable damage in Phase 3: Volatile Purge (pull 5), Circling Prey (pull 9).
Early vs late: on pulls 1–4 you dodged 37 of 44 mechanics (84%); on pulls 5–9 you dodged 35 of 41 (85%). About the same all night.
