In order to actually get the benefit of the 4pc..you still need to crit in the first place...not sure people grasp that concept. They aren't looking at when they get those "wasted" SS procs. UVLS + CA DOTs? if you get 2 procs on the same instant...you wasted 1 proc. It seems skewed, but it's really not big of a deal. We can stagger DOTs ever so slightly and may, potentially, GCD lock ourselves with SS procs after just 4 rolling DOTs.
Will we be "wasting" more procs with this bonus? Yes. But we'll also be casting SS more often, so it's still a fairly large increase in damage output, especially in single-target and 2-target multi-dot. When we start getting to 4-5+ targets, we start to cast fewer DOTs, fun fact -- you can spam SS all day, but if you don't get a proc within a GCD, you can apply another DOT! The point is, you shouldn't be wasting GCDs waiting for SS to proc. Keep yourself busy and play smart. You shouldn't be casting Eclipsed Wraths or Starfires if you're multi-doting, with the 4pc, if you have an encounter similar to Horridon.
