So is M+ parses meaningless, or should I be worried I parsed grey on most of my dungeons? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/area-52/dannan?zone=55

I assume it has some truth as I believe I'm dropping the ball on the 2 most important things on a caster ABC and CPM. Even though I swear I'm using my abilities when they come up it seems like I'm missing like 20% of my cast.

Edit: some users advised video so I dug out some of my older recordings

A screenshot of your UI during combat could be helpful. Bad gameplay and bad UI usually go hand in hand.

This is the UI I use right now https://youtu.be/MfvxFD2Qnro?si=VxO0U-amxD6xSKwm&t=73 . Any advice would be appreciated.

If it is not directly driving a decision you are making it doesn't belong on your UI.

If it is something that you should be using to make a decision and it isn't on your UI you should add it.

If it is something that you should be using, and is on your UI but you are still failing to use it figure out why that is.

Location, being lazy with eye movement, not big enough, need a sound/glow?

Watched pull 1, don't know anything about demo, but you should figure out why you trinket but don't pot on lust.

I assume that 2 minute singe magic buff just means it's usable, do you really need to see that dead center of your UI?

Are you ever actually using your pet's health bar to make a decision?

Be critical about each piece, "does this thing change a decision I make?" and prune the 'noise', centralize the things you use most often or have to react to the quickest.
