offtopic : you trade a shard (= a haunt) vs 1 GCD, personnally i dont trade , i do use FF + recast agony then i have haunt uptime ++ = moar dps

[Rustjive]

The opener that I use is this: Pre-pot, DS/BF, SB:SS to pull, Haunt, MG until 1.5s left on Haunt, Haunt, Fel Flame, MG until < 1s left on BF, SB:SS, MG, Haunt, etc. At my haste levels I almost always have enough shards to have Haunt-perma during my buffed Agony.

I just wanted to clarify my reason for Fel Flame here, because I don't use it as a conventional refresh -

On pull:
DS - 20s
BF - 15s
Agony - >24s
Corruption - >18s
UA - >14s

With 1s left on BF the durations are slightly more than:
Agony - 10s
Corruption - 4s
UA - 0s

I previously add FF so it's actually slightly more than:
Corruption - 10s
UA - 6s

So on my 2nd SB:SS refresh my durations look like this:
Agony - 34.xx seconds (max slightly more than 36s)
Corruption - 27.xx seconds (max slightly more than 27s)
UA - 20.xx seconds (max slightly more than 21s)

So my DoTs are fully powered for the maximum duration. The only drawback is as previously stated - the refresh is not the first possible refresh with full procs, and Agony isn't until the end so it's losing ~6s of procs after it's fully stacked as well. It instead comes during a Haunt flight time, which is during another Haunt, so I am losing MG time as well. It could be, and should be tweaked, but it is optimal in terms of squeezing every bit of DoT strength out 3 GCDs of DoT refreshes with 2 Shards before BF expires.

There's 0 situations on a pull that I have encountered on any boss that would stop me from doing that opening rotation. Not a single fight.
