I am currently attempting to implement Phong shading & lighting on a textured cube using HLSL and DirectX 11. I believe my ambient and diffuse lighting calculations to be correct and visually they produce an expected result. However when I apply specular lighting I get strange results (See Links)

Diffuse, Ambient & Specular: https://i.gyazo.com/f7700d758e05227e27be91ab0cfdf64e.png

Specular Only: https://i.gyazo.com/27bbfa0efce5c60748f61f54365cc042.png

My .fx file:

    output.Norm = normalW;
    return output;

    float4 output;
    float lightIntensity;
    float specularAmount;

    input.Norm = normalize(input.Norm);
    bumpNormal = normalize(bumpNormal);

    //Invert LDir for calculations
    float3 LDir = -input.LPos;

    lightIntensity = saturate(dot((input.Norm + bumpNormal.rgb), LDir));

    float3 r = reflect(LDir, (input.Norm + bumpNormal.rgb));
    specularAmount = pow(max(dot(r, input.PosW), 0.0f), specularPower);


    // Compute Colour using Diffuse ambient and texture
    float diffuseAmount = max(dot(LDir, (input.Norm + bumpNormal.rgb)), 0.0f);

    float3 diffuse = (diffuseAmount * (DiffuseMtrl * DiffuseLight).rgb) * lightIntensity;
    float3 ambient = AmbientLight * AmbientMaterial;
    float3 specular = specularAmount * (specularMaterial * specularLight).rgb * lightIntensity;

    output.rgb = ((ambient + diffuse) * textureColor) + specular;
    output.a = textureColor.a;

    return output;
}

Please excuse any messy code or variable names, I've attempted to get this to work using various tutorials and textbooks each with their own naming conventions so mine is a little messed up at the moment.

EDIT: Using the answer and some other sources of information I reworked my shader and got it working. On of my issues was incorrect padding in the constant buffer. I also added tangent space calculations and correctly converted my bump normals into a -1 to +1 range

First:

 float4 bumpNormal = txDiffuse[1].Sample(anisoSampler, input.Tex);
 bumpNormal = normalize(bumpNormal);

the data store in a texture is usually a RGBA format with 8 bit for each channel. unless you are reading from a float texture. when texture store each channel with 8 bits. you need mapping the value form 0~1 to -1~1 in shader.

second:

 input.Norm = normalize(input.Norm);
 bumpNormal = normalize(bumpNormal);
 (input.Norm + bumpNormal.rgb)

add is incorrect, you should replace the normal with bump normal.

third:

i'm not sure in what space your normal stored, usually normal will be store in tangent space, that means you should also pass tangent or binormal from vertex shader.

if you only want test the specular, you could use the original normal.
