All the stuff like Archaeology and Pet battles are fluff if you wanna do it but it's not necessary by any means. wowhead has some good guides on it if you can filter through the noise.
Racials are with in 3% DPS of each other. For example here is a sim someone did for the hunter racials -

affliction is seriously a "rotation" on single target, 2(3) insta dots, 2 cast time dots (UA), instant cast ability, drain soul, repeat. prepatch i was doing 140kish dps on my aff lock now im doing 220+ at a fairly low ilevel. not sure if it scales well or not but its pretty fun to play.

If you take contagion then rotation is kinda different where you spread out UA's and dont just chain cast them otherwise it is the same. I dont get why the icy veins guide says to use reap souls after casting dots tho since you want the added damage on the dots and not just drain soul, makes no sense.

DoTs don't tick immediately. It's the same reason you generally do 2x ua into reap, because that reap will affect the first tick of both UAs.

Affliction Locks were already doing pretty decent damage at high gear levels pre-patch. I can only imagine what they're capable of now. And their AE is probably the best in the game.

My lock is only 101 or something but I leveled it traditionally and it plays really nice.
Not a fan of that stupid Idol you put next to the boss for added damage

Downed Mythic Xavius. Would have had it in November, but the guild went on 'break' from Thanksgiving until the New Year, pretty much.
Cenarius was amusing. We have such high DPS (3 Shadow Priests, 2 Retribution Paladins, 2 Fire Mages) that we did our own strat of 'blood lust at the start to get him into the last phase with only two sets of adds'. Also helps that we have something along the lines of an average item level of 882.
People only got the 'fire' to push for it once they heard it was going away on the 17th. Oh well.

It'll be interesting to see what kind of balance tweaks they make in a few weeks. A lot of specs gained HUGE percentages in DPS on Tuesday. One DH went from 450k DPS to nearly 600k. I stayed roughly the same as ret.
The argument could be made that they're balancing around tier sets and balancing won't occur until 7.2 (as opposed to the knee jerk balancing they did in the first couple weeks of EN).

They buffed the fuck out of Wellspring to 450% healing and at the same time nerfed Chain heal by 5%
I played around with it during our alt/BS heroic EN/Ntov last night and I was having fun with it.
Shooting out a cone wave of healing is a pretty thematically fun spell but since no one used it before the buff I had people try and dodge it when I used it on Normal Helya.
Ascendance and High Tide are both super clutch abilities so I'm not sure how viable it is even with the buffs. If I had Jonats it wouldn't stand a chance.
Also, am I the only resto shaman here?
