Currently only cleared DS on LFR difficulty and some of FL on 10m

What do you think YOUR responsibilities are in a raid? :
Give a original answer here, saying to buff and dps/heal/tank isnt really worth mentioning

What is your Spell Rotation ?
Fire is one of the more unique specs that WoW has to offer for any class. Its spell selection priority changes depending on the given scenario, making it dynamic. The basic spell selection priority on a non-movement Patchwerk-style encounter is as follows:

Combustion*
Flame Orb
Living Bomb
Pyroblast!**
Mirror Image
Fireball
Scorch**

Also Post a UI Screen Shot (this is so we know how you see whats around you)

And Post atleast a 3 min WWS or WMO Report on Test Dummie(Dps only)

Hello and thank you for applying to Cerebral:

I've had a look through your application and before I mension anything specific about your character I would like to point out some very general concerns. First of all your age, whilst we do have some younger members in the guild at 13 you would have to prove to us that you can be mature and that you can attend your full raid schedule. Secondly given that you said you have no alts you are clearly new to the game, you're lack of any real raiding experience is worrying as the step up from the faceroll attitude of LFR to heroic modes is brutal. Also you are missing a UI screenshot and DPS report which are mandatory, saying you can do DPS is a lot different to proving to us you can do so.

On to your character:

Before I say anything about your app I am an avid reader of MMO-Champion and I can see that where you posted your rotation you have just copied the whole paragraph from the Fire Mage Guide on there, does that show us you really understand how to play the class...

1.You're way over both the Haste (2005) and Hit (1742) caps, if you can't optimize these yourself you should use a reforging site such as wowreforge.com. In general you need to look over your whole reforging stratergy as most items are reforged incorrectly.

2.Your shoulders should be enchanted with the Epic Enchant, if you don't have the rep you need to get it asap.

3.Replace the following enchants:

Bracers - Replace Haste with +50 int

Gloves - Replace Haste with +65 Mastery

Feet - Replace Haste with Lavawalker

4.In yellow sockets you should be using (+20int +20 crit) unless you need something else to reach a haste platau.

5.You should be aiming to buy some more of the valor pieces such as Ring, Neck, Bracers, Boots etc. to replace 378's

6.In your Frost off spec you're currently using arcane glyphs -.-

GL with the app, but I'm just not sure you're quite what we're looking for.

Please since Rus has taken a lot of time to go over things Take them into account sort the gear changes reforges specs gems and play your character alittle while.

As russ said to much of a step up from a new character to raiding heroics ( Not all the game is simply faceroll.)

GL finding a more casual and lower progressed guild.
