Thanks for the tips.

I just got dark intent on my warlock.  I cast this on my pet, yes?  (When solo or in bg, that is).  Who do I cast it on in a dungeon?

The Druid healer for 100% uptime.

Otherwise, anyone else that has 'over time' spells. 

But I really can't stress 'The Druid Healer' enough.

Any Shadow or Holy priest is a good choice too, since both churn out a lot of DoT and HoT spells.

Since your pet's cannot DoT or HoT, you'll only get the haste buff when you cast it on them.

Imps can DoT, but oh so rarely and uselessly as destro.

In instances:

Resto Druids, Holy/Shadow Priests, Survival Hunters are all primary choices.

Fire mages, boomkin as worst case.

why boomkin?  A boomkin has 2 fairly fast ticking dots that should have 99% uptime on anything said boomkin is dpsing.  Boomkin would seem a fairly obvious choice.

I think it's because those dots aren't their bread and butter like SWP or Rejuves are so they're not guaranteed 100% uptime.

Since the buff only has a seven second duration you need several DoTs or HoTs running to guarantee the uptime; Balance Druids aren't bad, but your best bet is a Shadow Priest.

There's a nice guide with numbers on the mmo-champ forums if you really want to get technical.

Boomkin rank pretty high on that, oddly. I've had far more success with survival hunters than boomkin for uptime, though. Survival hunters proc like nobody's business, and my boomkin usually don't have shit for uptime stacks on me.

your boomkin is prob one of those people who is still stuck in the old "only cast dots after each Eclipse proc" rotation, instead of the new "keep all dots rollin all the time, clip the last tick when refreshing" model.
