I don't want to go into extremely fringe cases. But now we open with rupture, so getting SV isn't an issue. However there are cases where you're on prio adds that should die ASAP, while on these you want to dump your CP into them, and not save rupture for target switching. So thus if after you have vanished and dumped those CP and initial ambushes into the prio target, but you still have subterfuge up when it dies. This is leaving you with next to 0 CP left when you swap target again to a target that might not have bleed on it. Opting to use that last ambush on the non bleeding target will leave you with either ~4 seconds without any bleed on the target (that you'll do one backstab into mind you). Or if you choose to hemo (which.. isn't really dps neutral, but a loss to use) will leave you with ~2.5 seconds without any bleeds on the target. All this with FW up as well.
Tl;dr the situation where you targetswap away from a prio target, with subterfuge up and have dumped your resources into prio target.
