Raid
You all know the drill.
Starting with Crusader's Coliseum then moving to Ulduar, with the possible VoA as usual.
The usual routine, VoA first (or at the end of the night) if it's available.
Typical Lava Crab raid. Still looking at the business of gearing Nickarito, Onrique, and Hexlord proper.

I will try to keep a consistent log of my dps attempts on my warrior and how I perform when I dps in a given instance be it 25m or 10m from here on out. When necessary I will mark when given gear upgrades are recieved and when gems/enchants/specs/glyphs are changed.
Parses for the night: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/Ym9JbHp0G4j5lp60/sum/damageDone/
The data done by me (rough):

1 Unused Taste for Blood proc (overpower)
4 Unused Sudden Death procs (execute)
1 Unused Bladestorm Proc (given the amount of time)
53.2% Uptime on Rend. Should be a lot higher, this means a lot of other missing thirst of blood procs and dot damage.

Play very conservative moving out anytime frostblast was off cooldown so I did not bother checking parses here.
The Highlights:
The biggest things that I need to work on are as follows:
#1. I really need to increase my uptime on rend. I think it should almost always be in the 75%-90% range and it just was not there most of the night. That is costing me more Taste for Blood procs which allow for overpower.
#2. Wasted Taste for Blood, Overpower and Bladestorm chances. I need to play a lot more conservative with my heroic strikes so that I don't rage starve myself. I cannot leave these 3 hanging on the table as they are nice portions of dps.
#3. Works with #2, I need to minimize heroic strike usage as I often left myself too rage starved to use MS. Although getting a 100% rate on MS is impossible, most of the time I am missing too many of them for my liking.
#4. Need to call for more hands of salv that way when the tank goes kablooy I don't follow soon after. Fueling Horkina's corpse explosion does not increase my damage.
Completion of Lava Crab raids for the week.

Back yet? Good. Now that you're back from changing your pants from laughter-poop I have to share my favorite line from that article:
Here’s where it gets tricky. When you tell 25 people to go to The Caverns of Time, seven of them don’t know what that is, two of them aren’t playing anymore, one fell asleep in his pizza, two have to drive their kids to therapy, one tells you to shut the fuck up, four are rebooting their computers, one is getting kicked off by his parents, two are lost foreigners who thought this was the train station, one is pressing enter on the same Chuck Norris joke over and over, two of them tell everyone to go to three different places and one is your girlfriend bitching at you about how much this sucks.
That makes me LOL endlessly and I just wanted to share. Also, for the first time in my life, I've found the EXACT set of words to describe what it's like to lead a raid and then watch your raiders fuck it up spectacularly:
Imagine you’re trying to teach your son to play baseball. You teach him the rules, how to throw, how to swing and when you tell him to go for it, he throws the ball into the side of his own head, runs the wrong way and tries to sell a blowjob to an undercover cop. Warcraft players fail in directions you never thought possible
