free cast, instant damage (thus burst), instant teleport to target. compared to stupidly long dots...
while I do agree that you don't need BS, it is still okey to use this ability if you're having problems. just make sure you have KC ready (ie don't use on elegon after the second, as respawn rate gets to fast) and always have full focus. (just cap focus and rotate Arcane-Cobra to be absolutly safe)
using BS trivializes every second add, and you can even use BW on the last add if you know you're gonna have problems with that (i.e. you are sure you wont kill it without)
Just go ahead and use BS. you will soon notice that it's not really necessary. I also use BS, but just for the sake of being able to help my gildies left and right of me in case they are in need.
if you are having problems with the buff uptime, ask your raidleady to kindy assing one of the near sparks to you. for example the middle spark on the left if your raid stands left of the console. this way you can position yourself pre fight (go in so you get the debuff, then move back a tiny step and then jump. there is a sweet spot where jumping clears the debuff, and you get it again straight after landing) , and don't have to move an inch for the whole phase 1, only during the transition phases when the floor goes down.
another way you can tickle out a bit more burstdamage, would be to manually stop pet bite autocast after small adds die, and makro the "toggle autocast on" into KC. but that should really not be necessary
