I don't have tier, which probably explains a lot of the shortfall here. I'm new to prot warr (like 3-4 days in) and I feel like I have a solid grasp so far, but just want a very quick sanity check to maek sure I'm not developing any obvious bad habits https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Ggdx34VzP8NQqaDn?fight=13&type=damage-done
#anything obvious I'm doing wrong? prot damage feels a bit lower

noticing that I'm wasting a good amount of rage and also could probably up the CPM a little bit. I find myself spamming keys a bit too heavy and prob need better WA's to track ignore pain capping out etc

Don't worry about capping IP. You press IP to prevent overcapping on rage. Everything else about the button is inconsequential. You're definitely wasting a bit of rage, but over-all seems like you have a good grasp on MT rotation.
You forgot Shield Charge existed. Make sure you send it when you send CDs. Demo Shout -> Thunderous Roar -> Shield Charge as frequently as you can without holding any of them for more than 4-5s
Other than that, getting tier and running this dungeon again in the exact same way would be roughly 4mil overall
So your damage is fine

super odd, but i think shield charge isnt tracked right on logs or something
no way I o nly used it 4 times
I just checked like 10 top key logs and all of them only show 3-5 uses of shield charge. something weird must be going on lol

It has a very long CD. You are often sending it for the first time 30s+ into the fight

Generally correct; it only tracks Shield Charges done from outside melee range. You have to kind of awkwardly judge it from the damage done chart instead. It looks like you did around 7 shield charges, but it could be off; one about 15 sec in, next at 1m, then 1:45, then a bit after 2:30, then a bit after 3:15, then a bit after 4, then a bit after 4:45
Also, since it says you used Shield Charge 5 times
are you using Shield Charge to engage? If so, that's something you can fix. If you're worried about getting SB set up, Charge + Avatar is enough rage to get shield block applied before ever touching a mob
This ends up costing you some rage over the course of a dungeon, and can sometimes do some jank things
(If you charge in the middle of a shield charge used outside of melee range, it sometimes doesn't do the damage event, or doesn't give rage/SB/etc)
You can also work on generating a bit more rage, since it looks like you might be missing some resets on SS, and if you really want to aim to optimize, you can also work on sending more outbursts on SS/TB instead of letting any of them go to thunder clap
violet garden
shield charge? it has a 45 sec cd
hasty river
Yeah, hence it looked like you were sending it on CD
oh i'm dumb
I also had it zoomed in, so didn't list all of them
at any rate
Yeah, looks like you were sending it on CD, and my recommendation was to not engage with Shield Charge
You should be normal charging in, and then using it in melee once everything's gathered
