Right now our best DPS spec is 51 para, but it is getting nerfed next week, has little AoE and requires almost constant uptime on the boss to do well. This spec is for 51 Riftblade 15 paragon. Third soul can be reaver for the zero point dot, void knight for Void buff, or when SL comes out Tempest for the zero point buff and the ranged attack.
NOTE!! If you use a more complex rotation than me you will do more dps! But like the title says I am a slacker warrior.

Rotation ( As the title says I am a slacker warrior, so I have a very simple rotation. If you use a more complex one like some of the ones on the rift forums you will do more dps.... you know you want to.. be an achiever !! )
Single Target is all about keeping up Frost Strike FLamespear and soul sickness effects. You can either manage them manually or download and setup Karuul Alert.
I normally start by riftwalking in, then get frost strike and flamespear going, then finisher for fiery burst. Then use builder and soul sickness and finisher again. Then builder to rift implosion and rift storm. Right now riftwalk hits like a truck so that is why we want to use it every time it is up along with keeping our 3 debuff / dots rolling. There are fights where riftwalk will get you killed ! Do not use it in those fights! (helpfull hint tm)
AoE Rotation Start with Fork, hit the AoE Spear macro twice, then thunderstrike then AoE Finisher. THen thunderstrike 3 times and then finisher over and over til fork/spears are back up and then redo them. Easy Peasy.
I hope this build helps some people out, tweak it to your hearts content !
