"The best way to instantly increase your overall DPS is to use your cooldowns every time they are available. If you have multiple cooldowns, figure out if staggering them or stacking them works best but for pete's sake use them. They're only 2-5 minute cooldowns. That usually means you can use them on every or every other trash pull. Or even 2-4 times in a raid boss fight. Don't save them for an 'emergency'. That's just wasting them for no good reason."

And be sure to use them immediately after the pull as a DPS, so you're sure to steal agro from the tank and die

It is always the tank's fault. Unless it is the healer's.

Oh, and all you Rogues, after pulling aggro be sure to vanish within close proximity to a healer........

Who uses DPS cooldowns in emergencies? That doesn't even make sense.

As Ret there's a very specific time to pop CD's on bosses and if you do it out of order, it may as well be wasted.

For other classes, dunno.
