Is the DPS I'm getting decent enough for my i-lvl? (Frost)

Hi!

My mage dinged 100 nearly 2 weeks ago and since then I have tried my best to gear the mage as much as possible. I used to raid on my druid, but I got bored with it and playing mage really has my interest. Loving it.

I have done enough research to know that I should search for Multistrike and Crit/Haste on my gear, but especially Multi, so I am trying to do that.

Right now...I have an item level of 659. In AoE situations I usually pull somewhere between the 30 and 40k without Time Warp/Mirrior Image/any other major cooldown. Single target is somewhere between the 22k and 26k most of the times, depends on the encounter.

Compared to the rest of the raid I'm not even doing that bad (especially considering I only dinged 100 2 weeks ago and never raided with a mage before), but the thing is that the dps I am doing now doesn't seem much different from what I was doing when I only had an item level of 650.

I tried Arcane, but I got even lower numbers with that spec and I dislike it. Also tried Fire and loved it aswell, but I don't have the right item level + stats for it yet. I did get 29k on Furnace LFR, but on other bosses only +-20k. So I am sticking with Frost right now, but I really want to improve. Already tried with other talents, but it doesn't seem to make much of a different.

Rotation-wise I am doing okay. Unfortunately I don't know what else I can change (besides further gear upgrades, especially head+neck) to get better dps. Or is my DPS normal for my item level? What numbers am I supposed to get with my item level? We have two other mages in our raids who have an item level of 670+ and they are around the 26-30k most of the times, so compared to that I'm doing okay, but I just wanted the opinion of fellow mages.

Also...about the tier-set. I know the 2-set and 4-set bonus are awesome, but is it worth to equip them when they don't even have multi on them? Or am I better off to just equip the Chest+Leggings for the multistrike and find the rest manually, as long as they have Multi?

Your dps is a little low for your item level.  I play frost exclusively and at a 666 item level I pull 25k-30k depending on the fight.  Without combat logs it's hard to tell you what might be going wrong.

 

Side note: don't ever let anyone tell you frost is the weakest spec ;)

It is the weakest spec, however don't let anyone tell you you can't play it. It's perfectly viable but still weaker.

      By Aerlon
      Hello everyone,
      Last patch gave us 40% and 10% damage increase on ray of frost and glacial spike
      Does anyone know of these changes make them relevant ?
      Should frost mage play with these or one of these now ?

      [Hyjal] [H] <Fun is for Casuals> 11/11 Heroic - LF Ranged DPS
      By Skaboy
      <Fun is for Casuals> is a serious but casual horde guild on US-Hyjal. We are serious about raiding without the intense hours. Even when recruitment status is none, we will accept exceptional applications for all classes.
      Our raid times are Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30PM to 8:30PM server (PST) with raid invitations sent out a few minutes prior to that.
      We're interested in you if you fit the following criteria:
      Raid attendance is essential. We don't want people sitting on the bench but we also want to make sure we're raiding 6 hours per week. We expect you to be available for at least 90% of our raids. Be on time and prepared for raids. This includes flasks and other consumables. Discord is mandatory and a working mic is desired. You're appropriately geared for our current content. Effort and thought have been put into your gear/gem/enchant choices. You wouldn't show up for a job interview looking like a *filtered*, why would you apply to a guild with improper gems or some insane spec? You're up to date with your class. We expect our raiders to perform to the best of their abilities. You have a computer that's not run with hamster power or requires a hand crank. Some encounters are taxing on a computer's resources so if your toon can't even handle Orgrimmar it's not likely to do well with 20+ whelps that need AOE'ing. You may be interested in us because:
       <Fun is for Casuals> uses the personal loot system. There is no loot council, or DKP. We won't eat your babies the first time you stand in something you have no business being in. Repeatedly do it and we'll break out the bibs and BBQ sauce. We provide a limited amount of consumables and flasks on hard mode raid nights.  Discord isn't a circus during raids. We're focused on the job at hand and you should be too. We don't want someone to miss a an interrupt because they were distracted by fart jokes. We are not interested in you if you fit the following criteria:
      You roll on BoE items then sell them. Unwilling/unable to spend an entire evening on one boss during progression. While this is rare, it can happen. Drama queens. If you have a problem bring it up to E. This is his job. Don't announce it in guild chat or during a raid. Your issue will have nothing to do with 99% of the guild. You are 17 or younger. We try to keep guild and discord chat PG-13 but occasionally a few four letter words appear out of nowhere. Additionally, we don't want someone's mom interrupting their raiding to get homework or the dishes done. Follow the instructions at https://gow.gg/fun-is-for-casuals under the Recruitment tab if you would like to apply.

      Feral talents
      By Jonesy0000
      Hi Team
      I am recently returning from a few years away from the game and I have decided to go back to my much loved main throughout wrath, the feral druid. I have always been a cut above the rest and managed to be top dps all through wrath. 
      I was reading your guide and noticed in the talents you don't take savage roar. Can you explain the match behind this as to me it seems like the more viable option.

      [Dath'Remar/Khaz'goroth][A] <Tempest> (10/10H) recruiting Tank/DPS
      By Aereth
      <Tempest> of Khaz'goroth/Dath'remar is recruiting!
      We are a laid back 21+ guild based in Australia for the most part. We understand that some don't have a large amount of time to commit to raiding due to real life commitments- jobs, kids, hassles etc 😛
      Because of this we are dedicated to providing a stress free raiding environment 2 days per week in addition to an active social community. 
      Social apps are available for all classes and levels! If this sounds like the guild for you please contact us!
      Previous tier progression was 1/7M and 3/3H
      Raiding info:
      We raid from 8pm sharp server time Sundays and Wednesdays for 3 hours and predominantly use loot council for loot distribution.
      Recruitment openings: 
      1x Tank- any class - must also be comfortable dpsing
      DPS with healing offspecs
      -WW Monk
      -Shadow Priest
      -Ret Paladin
      -Enh or Ele Shaman
      -Feral or boomkin druid
      We would also consider the following DPS classes without a healing OS
      DH
      warlock
      rogue
      DK
      druid
      We will of course give consideration to those who fall outside our recruitment needs if you think you may be a good fit for Tempest.
      If this sounds like you, or you would like some more info please pst or mail Aereth (Aereth#1439).
