    I used the heroic to upgrade my SK to level 85. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the choices.

    Any suggestions on which spells to use, rotations and general good tips at level 85+?

    Strongly recommend earning just a bit of AA to begin your journey, to fill in the Dark Lord's Unity AA that you don't start with, because the AA was a late introduction. It will take care of all the long duration self-buffs so you never have to learn them.

    And buy haste potions (Alacrity X) either in POK from vendor, or from /bazaar if your server has folks making them.

    keep tanking buff on:
    Malarian Skin

    self buff in combat with:
    Charge for Power
    Touch of Lanys

    In combat nuke with:
    Malrian Spear

    and lifetaps:
    Dire Implication
    Touch of Tharoff
    Touch of Kildraukan

    for mana, use every minute:
    Laarthik's Bite
    Vicious Bite of Chaos AA

    if you don't already have it, take those spells for a walk - get your epic 2.0 ASAP. you're basically not an SK without yours
