If you are DPS, what is the (spell) hit your character needs to be viable in a raid?
Strength > 8% Melee Hit > Expertise (26) > Haste > Mastery > Crit

What is the basic gemming strategy for your character?
Gem for Strength

What is the basic reforging strategy for your character?
I use the recommendations from Noxxic:
Step 1: Check for 8% Melee Hit
If you are below 8% Melee Hit, you need to reforge the weakest stat (see stat priority) into Hit rating. If possible, try to only reforge Crit or excess amounts of Expertise, as Haste and Mastery are very valuable. Continue to do this on gear until you are at the 8% Hit Cap.

Step 2: Not Expertise Soft-Capped (26)
Now you want to reach the Expertise Soft-Cap. To do this, on any gear without Expertise, reforge Crit (first priority) or Mastery (second priority) into Expertise rating. Continue to do this until you are at 26 Expertise.

Step 3: Hit & Expertise Capped
Since you are capped with both Hit and Expertise, you want to reforge your gear for as much Haste as possible. On any gear without Haste, reforge Crit (first priority) or Mastery (second priority) into Haste. Also, if any gear has too much Hit/Expertise and no Haste, then reforge them into Haste.

What is your favorite boss fight and why? What boss haven't you fought that you're looking forward to the most?
Don't see any specifications on expantion. So my favorite boss is the Lich King. I still have to much fun running ICC and back before Cata I waited impatiently to fight the good ol fashion Lich King!

-DBM(All I really need)

Couldn't Find Times

srsly though, app looks decent, but I don't know anything about dk's.

Only thing I changed in my application was the times I found them

greetings, thanks for the app. it looks like you're in your pvp gear, so please log in your pve gear when you get a chance.

otherwise everything else looks pretty good. you will need to work on your therazane rep so that you can get your shoulder enchant, and your wildhammer rep for your head enchant if you're not revered on one of your other characters.

also, i will give you my standard warning that we have a loose age requirement of 21, as we expect people to behave in a relatively mature manner.

If you're using a sword or mace, expertise soft cap is 23.

I might only be 16 but I guarantee I don't tolerate childish behavior

thanks for logging in your pve gear. you do not meet our requirements for a regular raider, but you can be a "casual raider" for now and you can request a promotion when your gear is properly gemmed and enchanted. track someone down online for an invite.
