-Applying FS to other targets isnt an issue. We can apply it to anyone whenever we want, all it takes is one GCD. I believe we need a talent to spread it, but we dont have to wait in order to start our rotation. 1 GCD is all it takes compared to 5-6 seconds. MM hunters have to wait in order to target swap and do max efficient damage, Demo warlocks have to wait for CDs to swap because their pets are the main source of their damage, and the list goes on. Our problem is eliminated, 1 GCD instead of 5-6 seconds is a big change.
-1 minute CDs arent like the totems we had to keep down in order to min max. SK at least has interaction with our rotation, whereas our totem was just a set and forget.
Im not saying we are perfect and Im not saying those 1 minute Cds dont cause issues, but no class or spec is perfect. Im also saying Id take our 1 minute CDs over our boring set and forget totem any day. Other classes have to wait to target swap as I said above, some worse than others. We dont have that issue.
We see a priority target, we hit FS and then start dpsing meanwhile Demo warlocks have to set up all of their pets and by the time they are ready the add is dead or almost dead. MM hunters have to pray to the RNG gods for a crit so they can get the debuff that allows them to use their main ability on that priority target. They do have a talent that automatically puts it on a few targets but if its on CD its all up to RNG. Shadow priests in general have a somewhat long ramp up time in order to do good damage and that only works against target swapping. The list could go on.
