Don't use mark on pull, use it as a filler. Decreasing WIS isn't very helpful and not a main concern to the raid, unless you plan on lifeburning that pull.

Also, Life Tap should be higher in your order. Animated Dagger sucks for DPS, but it will proc PoTM, so only use that when your troub puts that up.

Time swarm pets with the AoEs, and don't be oblivious to the mob's health - meaning if the mob is on pace to die in under 30 seconds while you're ready to cast swarm pets, don't use them.

Also, a general rule is to have 0 downtime on waiting for spells, so if you're casting and you have nothing up, rethink your order. Generally a good way to do this is to alternate a longer recast spell (like Life Tap) with Rot.

Spam the shit out of coil, all that upfront spell damage (bolt of energy) with the short cast/recast time is king now, bats...while splurt does affect it, and currently only +CA dmg mods affect it still has too long of a cast time unless you have gotten it down to a 1 sec cast, and remember the faster and more spells you're casting the more lich procs you're getting...so spam spam spam.

I'm a pretty new necro, only level 78 at the moment, but generally I start off with coil, lifetap, pandemic, rot, coil, then either lifetap or pandemic again if lifetap isn't up. Can usually keep that cycle running indefinitely especially with shorter fights.

On longer fights I may throw up swarm pets somewhere but if they die that's a whole lot of wasted time. I've only got 465 spell damage at the moment but I'm working on my gear. This is an alt of mine, but I'll probably get a mythical on him at some point, can't wait to test that bad boy out.
