**Tip:** Pre-press Divine Protection on Stormbound Mystic
## You timed your first Den +14 — but the D is not just the key: the Ruby +14 an hour later was harder and graded C. The gap is dispels and a 61% kick rate.
The two axes carrying 59% of your grade both read low. `throughput` 51 means you covered 63% of the damage that actually needed an outside heal — the damage left after the party healed itself and after overkill. `response` 48 means that of the damage landing in the party's twenty worst eight-second windows, you put back 32%.
The tool flags that this key asked more per second than the corpus its curve was cut on, and that flag is correct. The easy conclusion from it — that the D is an artifact — is not. You ran Ruby Life Pools +14 fifty minutes later, and by the tool's own demand measure it was harder (163,072/s against this key's 146,882/s, both from their records). It graded C 65. Same healer, same tank, same night.
So the honest split: the party took 51% more damage per second here than in the +13 Den on identical affixes (261,869/s against 173,514/s, from the archive), and 42 of 108 interruptible casts got through. That is not yours. But dispels were 20 of 35 where Ruby was 7 of 7, and your healing per second of combat was 12% below Ruby's. Those are.
**What to change**
1. Enh Shaman: drop Poison Cleansing Totem on every Toxic Spores wave on The Hoardmonger — they land about every 40 seconds and hit all five. It already cleared four of the ten that came off.
2. Whoever owns kicks: Earth Bolt leaked 34 of 46 for 9.2M. The same dungeon on the same affixes converted 84% eight days ago; 61% is the whole reason intake was 51% higher.
3. Pre-press Divine Protection on Stormbound Mystic. At 22:52 it landed 0.3 seconds before you died — 885,242 arrived in 1.4s from 64% health, and the button was right, just late.
4. Change nothing about your cooldown usage. Avenging Wrath on a two-minute cadence, Aura Mastery 9, Divine Toll 43, nothing unpressed — that half of the key was clean and the grade does not show it.
5. Ignore Shield of the Righteous as a suspect. 4.7 casts/min is below your own Den baseline and it does not track coverage anywhere in the archive.
6. For the tool: give `response` the same denominator `throughput` already has. Counting damage a Blood DK healed back himself as damage the healer failed to cover is the bug that was fixed on throughput and left live here.
