I did not know people were still trying to use the in game chat system, it lags, the quality is pretty bad and you cannot tune it as you want.

We use a personal vent server provided on the Gm line (he is in japan, so he has super fast connection who can take the load).

Ventrilo >>> in-game chat, even if the quality is not perfect, it's clear and more than enough for WoW.

Saying that Myremi use powerleveling kinda make me chuckle a bit, someone got pissed off and decided to scam.

In a PUG folks wont care about how much spellpower you have, or critic, or which spec you are for a warlock.

If they ask ONE thing, they will "how much dps?"

If you can pull your weight, they wont care how you do it, they will just be happy you can do good dps.

Aim for at the very least 1,5k dps consistent for pugs. Any less and I am personally starting to wonder why I bring the dps except for filling up the slot.

Critic is currently not nicely itemized, ie: the amount of dps you get from stacking critic is less than by stacking haste or spellpower, even for destro lock.

Personally I rank the stats: hit (until capped) > spellpower > haste > critic > spirit.

Spirit actually being not so far behind Critic since you have huge amount of it on the gear and 1/3 spirit = spellpower. I wont stack it purposely thought obviously.

I also enjoy haste quite a bit, my lock is spec 2/13/56.

1.3 spellpower with or without Fel Armour!? If it's with, it's damn low, I have more than 1.2K at level 70 self-buffed and I only reached T5

For warlocks it's 368 hit for meeting the cap, including the 3% talent from the affliction and/or destruction tree, that will be hard to get without some emblems gear so dun worry too much about it when starting up

Again, 880 spelldamage, with or without fel armour?

In both case it's damn low without offense, you can get some green or blue weapon with 300 spell damage on it pretty easily, that's like 1/3 of your overall spell damage already.

Do you have an armory link or something?
I would suggest you try to do some quest to get some good items (Storm peaks have some awesome rewards but it's long quest lines)

I was talking about 1,5k dps. A bit less would be fine also.

I am also getting disconnected quite often in 25 man when they are too many stuff going on (like Onyxia during whelp phase), it's really getting annoying, 10 man are fine.

And now, it's not addons or crap, even without any it still does it.
I am in China btw, so it's not only tmnet issue, my computer is topnotch so I think it's wow engine getting swarmed by connection and loosing it.

I do wish they could somehow "clean up" or improve the engine for Cataclysm... my fps is sometimes not what it should be with my machine in some places... engine is getting really the limitation at the moment.

Yar, I didnt have that issue that much when i was in china (even though it happened few times in Anubarak room in naxx for some reason...)

I am starting to kinda avoid 25 man pug just for that... no idea what exactly is happening but from what I see in the forums, quite a few people are getting that issue (from different countries/isps etc.)

For camera:

/script SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax",50)

This helps a lot
