I'm made the corrections. @R

Good catch on those, that’s why it’s called napkin math after all. I’m made the corrections.

So the description "Number of attacks that can trigger the proc in a given second" confused me, since that implies attacks per second (the inverse of what it actually is). Including the units in your calculation is always a good idea, e.g. (seconds/attack) / (procs/attack) = seconds/proc Your formula seems correct, but .95/.15 = 6.33, not 1.1. And the 13 inexplicably changed into 14 in the 2nd-last line. Without those errors you would get 25% uptime. You might also consider haste (divide V by hastefromgear * SnD). But I couldn't figure out how you got V=.95 either. The expression V = AB/(A+B) is the number of seconds per attack.

This has been most insightful. Sadly I bought the ring off the AH early on in Wotlk and now am finding upgrades. Thanks regardless, Vaagren Thank you very much Zaltu! This has been most insightful.
