If you're going to energy cap, do NOT use pistol shot even if you have an opportunity proc. Just use another SS so long as that isn't going to give you way to many CPs wasted.
Scenario 1. You have AR up, 85 energy, 4 combo points, and an opportunity proc. You have Grand Melee, Buried Treasures, and True Bearing.(aka not Broadsides). What should you use? SS. Not Pistol Shot. And if that SS brings you to 6cp, great, if it brings you to 5 cp, what do you do? GS if its really low or ran off, or if GS is fine, you still do not use Pistol Shot because you will cap energy by the time you finish your global so you just use a 5 cp RT.
When you have Broadsides up, you need to do simple math to figure out whats best. Just be weary using SS at 4+ because you'll lose mad cps with broadsides up, even more with broadsides+jolly rogers.
tl;dr - don't be afraid to use 5cp RTs. don't be afraid to not use opportunity procs if it will energy cap you. keep up GS...especially for your RTs. learn when to stop rerolling..this can't be said enough when its a dungeon boss you're fighting.
