Come on now, don't throw this stuff around like I'm being unreasonable. 10% chance ALONE for a proc to be worse dps than your normal hit is terrible design dude... And its a proc that gets worse as you scale your crit chance with better armor...
    Again, you are looking at a GCD by GCD basis. Over the course of any given fight, it is a practical impossibility for using straighter shot procs to be a dps loss. The fact that it goes from "practically impossible" to "slightly more but still practically impossible" doesn't change things notably. You _ARE_ being unreasonable.

    And finally, playing devil's advocate, let's say that your gear does reach a point where under internal release, heavy shot becomes a dps increase over straighter shot; it then becomes a measure of skill to know when to IGNORE procs rather than use them. Bad players will use straighter shots with much delay or not at all. Mediocre players will use all straighter shots. Great players will use straighter shots when it is a dps increase and ignore them when it is a dps loss.
