Only issue is that while Renataki can't proc from the Dire Beast cast, your Bad Juju can. Haven't gotten bad juju to proc from stampede yet, but 5 min cooldown = it takes ages to test.
In the end, it's probably not worth it, but still, should figure it out when I'm more awake ;_;.
Worth nothing is also that your first cobra shot is in between 2 and 3 stack renataki along with another ability, implying your cobra shot is a 1 second cast. But in between the 6 and 7 stack, you ONLY have cobra shot. Then again between 9 and 10, you've got cobra+arcane.
Is this to make sure the opener "fits" if there's not a bloodlust on the pull, or did you forget to add an ability?
If it's the latter, people have to remember that even in full BiS gear, your cobra shot won't go below 1 sec casted with just rapid fire up - which means that you have to leave an ability out (as has been done already) on Jin rokh, Horridon, Meg, Primordius, Animus, Qon, Twins, Lei Shen and Ra Den, but can add an ability in between 6/7 stack if you are on Council, Tortos, Ji Kun, or Durumu.
