No clue. I imagine it's because with the DFA build you're often very energy starved and you don't want to delay your DFA/SoD for another 3-4 seconds waiting for energy.
I've also noticed I get very close to energy capping if I SoD as DFA lands.
A full DFA combo with SoD at end looks like this:
Code:
Reach 6 CP > wait 2.5 sec for 25 energy > DFA > 0 energy > DFA animation (1.5 sec=15 energy) > 15 energy > DFA lands + SoD (36+40 energy) > 15+36+40=91 energy
A full DFA combo with SoD before DFA looks like this:
Code:
Reach 6 CP > wait 1 sec for GCD > 10 energy (energy regened during GCD) > SoD > 50 energy > DFA > 25 energy > DFA animation > 40 energy > DFA lands > 76 energy
Plus after DFA lands you only really have 4 more GCDs of worthwhile damage left anyways (SoD > DFA > SDance > ShStrike > ShStrike > Evisc > ShStrike) since damage outside of SDance isn't that important.
