Hi i am lex i went over your log sry it took a bit i started reviewing it and making a list of errors but then sth came up but i finished reviewing it today!

NOW lets talk about gear ..

Belt, why do you have a crafted 720 belt? we use the delve belt that is provided for free, its about 0.5% worse than a max ilvl belt/Crafted belt but the key word is that its free we do not need to spend 60 crests on it which we could have used for other gear this mistake will cost you a lot of otherwise free dmg which i will get to in a bit.
You do not have a crafted weapon. A crafted mythic weapon is prbly the biggest single item dps inc we can get so having one as soon as possible is detrimental to dealing competitive dmg! You need a crafted weapon with embellishment ASAP now with your crafted belt you lost a full spark crafting a 2h costs 2 sparks thats 4 weeks of time needed. We do get another spark this week and since you only have 1 crafted item you should have 1 saved up as well so pls for all thats holy on this earth craft a mythic weapon at 720 ilvl with ascendance embellishment I will go into more detail about what embellishment to craft in a bit!
you dont have crafted wrists either we need those as a support embellishment to our weapon embellishment wirsts dont have big stats but the embellishment effect they provide is super useful.

How to fix your gear;

You will craft a 2h Weapon 720 Ilvl ASAP (again i think we get a ccraft this week which should make it so you have 2 sparks!) You will craft the Darkommn: Ascension embellishment on it
AFTER you craft a weapon your next craft will be wrists that craft will be in 2 weeks if i am correct - for these wrists you will use the free HC ilvl crest (704) which you will get after finishing the K'resh story line and killing dimensius! you will craft the Writhing Armor Banding embellishment on it!
side note, you might want to resim gems i dont think 5x mastery/haste with prim stat + Move speed is the best setup :)

Alright now that your gear is sorted / will be sorted lets talk about your rotation

Your opener is wrong / scuffed here is how a proper opener should look like;
DpsPot (<1sec before pull) -> Reck -> Avatar -> Charge (this will provide you with enough rage to cast Rampage and get enraged immediately) -> Rampage -> BS (Bladestrom) -> spamming RB (Raging blow) until one of the following conditions is true; run out of RB stacks, lost enrage or hit 5 stacks of SS (Slaughtering strikes) (I call this stacking up BF + SS more on this later on) -> Rampage -> Normal rotation
Stacking up BF + SS this is a phase we enter after each BS where stack up 2 passive effects which both empower the next Rampage, BF (Brutal fnish) is a hero tree note that makes it so that the next Rampage after BS does 50% inc dmg, we pair this with the dmg amp from SS that makes it so that for each RB your next Rampage does 20% inc dmg capping at 5 stacks / 100% inc dmg.
So we BS and spam as many RBs as we can until one of the following conditions is true;
run out of RB stacks (most likely)
lost enrage (likely) <- not that this says lost not about to lose
reach 5 stacks of SS (least likely)
After one of these conditions is true; we Rampage and get a big Rampage off
also not that during this phase we ignore Rage cap!
You sometimes randomly cast BT (Bloodthirst) we dont want that casting BT is a wasted GCD it does low dmg compared to other abilities in our kit! we only ever cast BT if literally the ONLY other available ability is WW (Whirlwind)
You randomly have some missing GCDs in your timeline IDK if that happened bc you had a brain lag or what happened there but missing a GCD is dmg you will never get back even a Wrong GCD is better than no GCD

#

Execute usage is wrong; above 20% target hp we want to execute / SD (Sudden death) if one of the following conditions is true;

target has +2 MfE stacks
you have 2 SD stacks
you are about to lose AJ (ashen juggernaut)
below 20% you want use it if one of the following conditions is true;
target has +1MfE
you have 2 stacks of SD
you are about to lose AJ
Keep in mind if any of these conditions is met you want to execute immediately the only thing that has higher prio than this is your burst and not losing enrage!
At the end i will link you a WA that will make an icon glow up and make a sound for whenever one of these conditions is true it will help you get in the habit of pressing it more often :)

you are using Rampage way to frequently / too early.
We want to use Rampage at +115 rage we do this to minamx the GCDs between needing to be enraged again we want close to 100% uptime of enrage but we want to draw out the buff duration to as long as we can befroe we need to refresh it. We only rampage below 115 if we cant cast RB anymore or dont have an execute / SD proc OR we lost enrage but other than that we want to rampage at +115 rage, A while ago i did the math for another review on why its important to DELAY rampage if you want to see this let me know its not that complicated and lastly we want to DELAY rampage NOT WASTE IT so overcapping is bad outside of BF + SS build up - we will still overcapp every now and than just bc thats how it is but try avoiding it while using Rampage at +115 rage :)
Alright this is quite a long review and i had to seperate it in 2 posts even though i got giga discord nitro so the formating might be a bit off lol. I hope i could point out a few things you can work on and improve upon. I am not perfect so i might have overlooked sth but i think i got most of it doing these things will drasticly shoot your parses up and your dmg as well! If you have any more questions just @me or dm me i am always happy to help ppl in need of help!
Lastly i will link you both the wowohead guide, specifically the rotation section for you to go over the APL and check for yourself which buttons take PRIO over another under which circumstance this is written by archi our guide writer so its a trusted source And the SD WA that will help you press it under the right conditions!
