Your Maximum Threat Potential

All "gains" are .5 threat per point gained, except for rage/energy. Also, some heals are considered self heals, things like the bloom effect from lifebloom, and prayer of mending, so your healers can actually help you generate threat by favoring those heals.

You should also include Greater Arcane Elixirs, (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=13454) they have more spell damage than the Adept's Elixirs.

Poached Bluefish is another option for spell damage food that you could add.

Very nice guide. Another option for adding more threat is to do an AS on slow-hitting bosses. You can't do it for everyone, but a lot of bosses you'll be able to interleave it with your threat cycle. Also, making sure that you pop AW at a good time and whenever you can is also good.

Adding in AS can be very useful on mana surplus situations where you're OT/DPS (ZA Lynx boss, for instance, or even Bear). I'm routinely the add tank for Lynx, but Saber Lash leaves me at full mana all the time.

As far as max threat potential, I find that the staggered rotation (Consecrate, HS, Judge/Seal) creates a higher threat potential than the delayed Consecrate 10 second rotation you mention. Basically, every 4 casts, I've dropped a fifth Consecrate in that you wouldn't have. It's made a significant difference for me in the past (as in, it's a ~1600 threat per 40 seconds, or 40 TPS, difference).

is a windfury totem a larger increase in threat per second then the best wizard oil?

or do windfury and wizard oil stack?
