I tried Eclipse out for about a week and didn't really like it, just because it makes you change your spell rotation.
Did you happen to catch what spell spells he was using for single target, between bosses and regular mobs?
When I first switched to boomkin it was with a resto set with no +hit. I did take balance of power though. I wasn't missing much on regular mobs due to hit rating not being that big a deal. That kept my dps up pretty high there. I did miss more on Bosses but depending, like you said, on hit improvement spells, like Imp FF etc... you could miss less than normal.
Now about eclipse, I found that I wasn't using it much because it would proc off wrath on trash mobs , where I wouldn't switch to Starfire anyway because the mobs would be dead too fast.
I found that on bosses, I wanted to use Starfire to keep my Moonfire ticking because I'm using Glyph of Moonfire and Starfire. Therefore, I didn't want to switch my rotation to a wrath and then waste a GCD refreshing Moonfire when it ran out.
I found that overall I wasn't seeing an increase in my dps. It just seemed like more work to have to switch back and forth all the time and watch for the proc. It was just interrupting the normal flow of my spellcasting.
Here's my armory Galenmoon
I did the first 3 bosses in Mt. Hyjal the other day. I was rocking 1.5k dps on bosses running Moonfire, IS and Starfire spam. I was doing over 5k dps on trash with Hurricane. I think I used Wrath like 10 times on single mobs that weren't under my hurricane once everything else was dead. My overall DPS for the run was just over 3k.
So basically I didn't like it Eclipse when I tried it and I haven't looked back.
As far as the 30 sec proc question, I didn't test it long enough to be sure on that.

"OH SHlT SON ArexI can't really answer the question, but i have an additional question for eclipse.
It says it has a 30 sec cooldown. Does that mean when one of the effects proc, none of them can proc for 30 sec, or do they have seperate cooldown. In other words: If the increased starfire crit procs, can it proc the wrath damage i was wondering what everyone thinks about it. I personaly havent tryed it yet but i noticed a guildie today had it was pulling 900 dps and he's not that good geared. he's like 500 sd 0 hit rateing, not even tallented into any hit and he only has 11 crit. true i dont know what debuffs was going on mobs but i'm only about 1.2k dps for single target mobs, wich is what we was doing tonight. i have 900+ sd well over hit capped and about 18 crit.

so does it make that big of a diff or is he good or am i just sucking. i can normaly top the casters on damage now, and i'm normaly top 5 with the melee.
so has anyone tryed it and if so what do you think of it?-RABIDBEAR BOOMKIN
