Where your damage ranks against other parses at the same key level.
vs Other +8 Keys
64
vs All Keys
13
Your grade uses the "vs Other +8 Keys" score (bracketed). The "vs All Keys" score (global) is for context and doesn't affect your grade.
For every run, we pull Warcraft Logs' percentile rank for your spec computed against other parses at the same key level. Your +6 is graded against other +6s, your +12 against other +12s. The run page also surfaces a second number showing where the same DPS would rank against the entire spec pool. That second number is for context only and does not affect your grade. Augmentation Evokers are a special case: their personal DPS ceiling is lower by design because they spend GCDs buffing teammates, so we also credit a portion of teammate damage done during their Ebon Might and Prescience windows back to their score.
How to improve
Review top-parse logs for your spec at your key level to see their opener, cooldown alignment, and target priority. Most sub-50 percentiles are fixable by tightening rotation, not by pushing gear.

Hammer of Justice
x5
Rebuke
x5
Utility scoring for Protection Paladin. We count every Rebuke cast you land; priority kicks (boss heals, mass CC) are weighted 1.5x when we have the data for this dungeon. Your class dispels: Cleanse (Poison, Disease). CC abilities we track: Hammer of Justice, Repentance, Blinding Light. Rough split: ~55% interrupts, ~25% CC, ~20% dispels.
How to improve
Install a kick-announcer (WeakAura or the OmniCD suite) and commit to a kick rotation with your team. For Protection Paladin, Rebuke is your bread and butter. Aim to cover at least the priority casts flagged in each dungeon guide.

Avoidable dmg taken
18,264,312
Total dmg taken
67,892,926
Three signals: how often you died, how much of your damage taken came from ability IDs we know are avoidable, and how much healing you consumed relative to the group. Tanks aren't penalized for healing received (they're supposed to tank). Deaths caused by avoidable abilities cost extra. The death penalty softens at higher key levels (above +12) because even top players take unavoidable deaths in high keys. Avoidable damage and healing burden thresholds both scale with key level so a +25 isn't compared against +5 standards.

Did you press your major cooldowns on schedule?
CD usage
92%
We track the cooldowns every Protection Paladin has access to regardless of talent build: Ardent Defender (defensive, ~5% expected uptime), Guardian of Ancient Kings (defensive, ~5% expected uptime), Shield of the Righteous (defensive, ~40% expected uptime). Expected uses are computed from fight duration, then compared against what you actually pressed. Talent-gated cooldowns (ones only some builds take) are intentionally excluded: we don't penalize you for not picking a specific talent. Missing a single major CD can meaningfully drop this category; hoarding it through the whole key is the most common sub-grade cause.
How to improve
Rebind your majors to a prominent key and treat them as rotational, not emergency. If you're sitting Ardent Defender through a 30-minute dungeon, that's 10+ minutes of its window wasted. Consider an OmniCD- or WeakAura-style cooldown tracker so the whole party can see each other's windows.

Total casts
1,727
CPM
52.2
Total casts divided by fight duration, scored against benchmarks specific to Protection Paladin. Our thresholds for your spec: below 14 CPM = 0, 22 = 50, 30 = 80, 38+ = 100. A high-CPM melee spec like Fury Warrior and a low-CPM ranged caster like Marksmanship Hunter will have very different benchmarks; we don't apply a universal curve. Low CPM usually maps to rotation gaps, over-movement on mechanics, or extended time with no valid target.
How to improve
Check your Details timeline for long gaps between casts. Most gaps map to movement, mechanics you could have precast through, or a dead target before the pull ends. For Protection, pre-pulling right before the puller engages is an easy 2-3 extra casts per pack, and that compounds over a dungeon.
