how can I maximize my DPS as a prot warrior on Mug'Zee?

[weary zodiac]

I'm playing prot warrior in Mythic Mug'Zee and I feel like I'm getting beat by my VDH in damage. I want to get to purple parses at least since I think I have decent enough gear and stats at the moment. I try to time my Demolishes with Avatar and Shield Slam as soon as I get a proc, plus spending all my extra rage on revenge, but I feel like I'm doing my rotation wrong at this point

I'm testing using Mythic Pacemaker + House of Cards, since I felt that Tome didn't get me as big of a burst as HoC.

Should I get better at using shield slam?

I won't be available for a few more hours, but loose things to keep in mind overall for raid damage as Prot:

• Juggernaut stacks can sometimes really make or break a parse. It can be useful to track that and your Sudden Death stacks so you can maximize uptime and hopefully carry your stacks all the way to execute phase proper.

• Tier set RNG and everything around it can also sway your damage by a non-zero margin. Not just getting the tier proc, but getting and and also getting SS resets within the timeframe, allowing you to get even more CDR. In fights as short as raid, it doesn't tend to normalize out, so you can see some extreme values and RNG

• Making sure to properly send Outburst on Shield Slam becomes very important to getting some good numbers, as .ost raid fights are extended periods of ST with bursts of adds

Thanks a lot, can you go into more detail with Juggernaut stacks and Outburst? It might be obvious, but I like learning this stuff from a "this is important because of X or Y position"

I think I'm mostly pressing both SS, Avatar, Execute and Demolish as soon as possible, trying to stack Avatar+Trinket into Demolish to maximize the damage
