If you're going to compare builds to try and optimize properly the only level platform is the training dummy. The dummy is still flawed a bit as there are still some issues with it but everyone has access to them and at that point builds and stats can be compared evenly across the board.

If you examine most of the profiles posted you'll see power is really bad and that right there will tell you all you need to know. 1800 on an ops boss with 0% armor = 1200-1300 at best on a dummy...

Here is my parse on a dummy with just self buffs and a stim for comparison: http://www.torparse.com/a/43772

My rotation wasn't flawless so there is room for improvement. Here is another link to my profile which clearly shows I'm missing some of my top tier gear http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/3a...cc7728db9d but my stats are where they should be.

Few questions, My crit is extremely low compared to you guys, I am wondering if I should be switching out some mods? I haven't had trouble critting with berserk up most of the time so I didn't think it was that big of an issue but everything everyone is saying here is making me think different.

Also what do you guys think of my spec? Should i take points out of carnage to put into malice? I've been debating this for awhile and can't decide.

Any and all criticism is welcome

Your itemization is just bad at the moment which can be fixed pretty easily. Take a look at my profile as we are very close on strength and power but my stats are right on par with about where you'd wanna be on an annihilation marauder. I mainly raid with this toon and keeping points into defensive roll is a must for Denova imho.

Your gear is itemized fairly close to mine, though mine is full 61, and I have a bit more power and less crit: http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/character/48...84a5da26f9
My most recent Ops Dummy test has me doing around 1828 DPS fully raid buffed: http://www.torparse.com/a/43497/time/133...1338344378
I averaged approximately 2000 DPS over the 5 boss fights in our last KP Nightmare run with 4 armor debuffers in the group.

I'm also 31/3/7, so I'm a bit squishier in Denova, but it's certainly manageable if you have competent and geared healers.
