Hello,
I would like help with determining how I can improve and move from middle/bottom of the pack to top five on fights. I joined a new guild and these players are pumping a lot more than I am. I would like to keep up as much as possible. Thanks for any tips you have.

About your Character
About your Opener
You opened this fight wrong.
The proper opener is:
Here's the logic of this opener:
The first section is getting the immediate 80 rage for the first rampage.
We want to pop recklessness as the very first button, this allows us to get 20 rage from the 8 seconds of avatar it gives us, while also doubling all other rage. Charge will give us 40 rage instead of 20 rage due to having recklessness up. Clicking avatar then gives 2x10 rage. All of this totals to 80 rage which means we can immediately enrage ourselves via rampage. No need for filler raging blows.
The second section is getting bladestorming and optimizing this enrage window. I realize you do this optimization sometimes but not consistently.
When bladestorming we get a buff called Brutal Finish. We don't want to simply click rampage despite being at 130 rage. We want to combine this brutal finish buff with as many stacks of slaughtering strikes as possible. That's why we click raging blow while still enraged. When we run out of either enrage or raging blows, we rampage.
This optimization is true for every single bladestorm, not just the opener.
About your target selection
You keep switching to the tangles, likely due to progress requiring you to do so. If you want to be higher on the dps meter, then stay on loomithar.
Fury warriors actually lose a LOT of damage by switching targets.
we have a talent called Frenzy that requires us to stick on target as much as possible and our 2set and 4set both run off of Overwhelmed debuff stacks. This means having to switch targets -> no 2set and no 4set active.
About your general gameplay loop
You have a LOT of sections where you don't do any damage. You spam whirlwind, you don't optimize uptime as much as possible. You kinda stress and panic when mechanics happen it seems.
Please avoid downtime. Please avoid clicking whirlwind unless you have no button left to press.
One last rotational tip:
You tend to rampage between 85 rage to 105 rage a lot. We want to rampage >115 rage as much as possible as long as we can allow ourselves to get that much rage while enraged via raging blows.
We want to carry over as much left-over rage as possible onto the next rampage window each time without wasting rage. You click rampage so early so often that you end up having to click a filler because you run out of raging blows and executes to press.

@trim sky thanks for the tips. I have FPS issues in raid which I need to upgrade my cpu because there are times where I feel like my buttons are delayed. But I will take all of this and try to improve on it. This has been very helpful.

I do use Elvui. CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x. 32GB of RAM. Nvidia 3070. It's weird because I have raid settings on 2 but in M+, I am fine.
trim sky
yea no mate i had that exact cpu i understand the frustration but i can also tell you that once i fixed my ui (aka deleting elvui and making a new one), that i was able to have a very consistent 30+ fps
which is completely stable and playable
especially for a game like wow
mighty pier
wow, yeah. I drop well below 30 in raid

check out a video like this https://youtu.be/6Q-U-pWPaSg for non-elvui setups that still have that very crisp elvui look to them
this is what my current UI looks like with no elvui installed
