And those are the figures im getting out of your 5.2 profile.
Yes, 2pct13 makes heroic strike much more appealing however you dont NEED to make slam less of a priority because heroic strike is off the GCD. You'll still be able to set parameters for HS without having to lose slams. Also those who are testing and showing 5.3 to be a dps increase, what weapon are you using? In order to get accurate numbers you CANNOT use Gurthalak. The proc on the sword is too RNG to provide any consistency.
Currently for my testing im using 4pt13 with a 410 Experimental Specimen Slicer with an overall gear ilvl of 399 and on multiple testing dummy tests im showing 5.2 pulling far ahead of 5.3.
Just my 2copper, hope it helps!
