alright ruby i am lex and i went over your log :)
First of all normally i dont do fight specific tips or log reviews bc i want to make ppl understand the spec not how to log but i still reviewed your dimensius log and pointed out fight specific stuff for you, lets get this started!

GEAR
Lets get the elephant out of the room you mentioned you want to keep up with ppl with the same ilvl better which is a valid point seeing that's what its all about comparing yourself to ppl who have 5 ilvl more is straight up not realistic THAT SAID ppl your ilvl also want to compete with your ilvl so they do everything to get an edge on you! i took myself the freedom of simming your char (wasn't that easy bc you logged out in aoe spec hehe but i manged to change it to ST) you would gain a passive dmg inc of about ~ 5.5% or ~ 240.000 DPS if you where to enchant your gear and socket it as well! I will provide the sim ofc so you can either copy it or rerun the sim if you got some new gear :) I will link it at the end of this review!

a little side note to this, 5 champion track gear slots isnt doing you any favours - but you said you want to compete with ppl your ilvl that's why i keep it a side note!

Rotation
- General opener
Your opener on any boss besides dimensius should look like the following
DpsPot(<1 sec before pull) -> Reck -> Avatar -> Charge (this will provide you with enough rage to cast Rampage and be insta enraged) -> BS -> spamming RB until one of the following conditions is true; you run out of RB stacks, you lost enrage OR you hit 5 stacks of SS (Slaughterin strikes) (I call this phase stacking up BF + SS, more to it later!) -> Rampage -> normal rotation
-Dimensius opener
I like to press the teleporter than leap back to the edge of the platform (prbly not needed bc his hitbox is so big so running back a bit is prbly also fine but i like to leap back :)) and you will open like this and get a full opener on him! also dont WW during that the adds will die too quick and your BS will hit them anyway! WW at the end when you reached the "Normal rotation" section
At the end i will provide a gif that shows me doing the opener.
- Not making use of BF + SS stacking
This is a "Phase" we enter after each BS (Bladestorm) during this phase we stack the Rampage amps from BF (Brutal finish) a hero tree note that makes it so that the next rampage after a BS does 50% inc dmg and the dmg am from SS this is a spec tree note that amps the dmg from Rampage by 20% for each stack, stacks are acquired via RB.
note that during this "Phase" we ignore Rage cap!!
Now here is how it works;
We BS to activate BF now we spam RB until one of the following 3 conditions is true;
- You run out of RB charges (most likely)
- You LOST enrage (likely)
- You reached 5 stacks of SS (least likely)
After this you rampage and get a fat rampage off, this "phase" will repeat after every BS
note that in aoe this also applies so dont lose WW stacks having WW stacks up has higher prio than getting the msot SS stacks up!

Random BT(Blood thirst) casts
So by now i talked a lot about BS, RB and Rampage so what about BT you might ask yourself? that button is absolute ass. Avoid using it as much as possible we only ever want to manually when we have LITTERALY only WW to press BT only has 1 thing that beats it at being bad and that's using WW as filler in ST dont evne use it if you have 100% crit from BC (Bloodcraze) Why do i say Manually? bc BT is automatically cast during BS :)

Casting Rampage too early / often
We want to Rampage at +115 rage to ensure we minmax the GCDs between needing to be enraged again! pressing Rmpage before reaching that +115 threshold and we dont need it (we are still enraged) costs us "Free" enraged GCDs. A few reviews ago i did the math on why this matters so if you want to see it let me know i will pull it up :) that said we want to DELAY Rampage not WASTE it
