It's priority target damage is much less RNG reliant and will overall be more consistent and efficient. AS is okay but it's not worth the loss in consistency and not knowing when exactly you will be able to DP or when exactly you have to worry about capping orbs in my opinion.
i strongly disagree. Only fight i use cop on is Kromog but even there i can do similar pillar dmg as AS spec. At 700 ilevel i'm sitting pretty at 30% crit buffed so that takes a lot of RNG out of the picture (though i can also get RNG in my favor). COP is certainly viable on some fights, ore, gruul, kromog, flame and blackhand but so is AS. Also as AS i don't have to dot weave for max potential dps.
