Good article! A cheaper alternative to Flasks of Endless Rage is the Flask of Relentless Assault, the +120 AP flask from BC. While ER is obviously better, RA can cover the gaps on farm-status runs or other non-progression nights.

A word of warning: Using +hit consumables to reach the cap is certainly a valid option, and something I did for a while. Just remember that buffs from consumables or from talents (I see you, Focused Aim!) DO NOT EXTEND TO YOUR PET. So if you're below the hit-cap unbuffed, your pet will be missing attacks- which can hurt his DPS, and thus yours, if you're BM spec. Depending on pet DPS, some specs probably won't care, and obviously having one of you hit-capped is better than having both of you missing attacks. Just know the issue's out there, if you're a raid noob like me.

Also, Fish Feasts are the bestest things evar.

Wrong. Elixirs and food translate to your pet, just like any other buff on you. FA does not.

In late breaking news, I am, indeed, a moron. Hybrys is correct; current thinking at EJ is that buffs do extend to your pet. I'm not certain where I got the idea otherwise.../scratches head
In any case, you can ignore that middle paragraph up there. I stand by the RA flasks and the fish feasts, though.
