No...I don't play my tank in extremes or savages...that would be rude to the people that actually know the job they are playing. I play dark knight in some normals, some raids, and often in them...I only tank adds, and let the other two tanks play. Why? because I don't want 23 people telling me what I already know. I refer you to the fucking 28 page thesis on Dark Knight...I make sure I follow everything I can for my dungeon running. I'm not perfect...again, Dark Knight is not my bread and butter. I know I'm not suppose to let your blood gauge get too close to max...but I'm not a perfect Dark Knight..I make mistakes. I know you aren't ever suppose to go OOM on a dark knight, and to keep spare change in there for The Blackest Night...but I am not a perfect Dark Knight.

But - and this is the crux of the matter here - the number displayed by the dark knight who is doing O10S on savage? It is no help to a scrub teir dark knight just trying to do his best in mendacity gear. Comparing my i360 self to i380 gods is like bragging about bench pressing 120lbs to a professional bodybuilder.
Lol i380 gods.

Also if you're following the general rotation like you say you are, you're good. If you genuinely believe there's nothing you can glean from doing cast comparisons then you're a better player than I am, and good job on that. Given how good you seem to be you should also be well aware that FFLogs also tells you the average per cast damage in the casts tab, which should help formulate an idea of your benchmark at i380.
