(H) Ursoc last night - 97% rip uptime, 28% ashamane's rip uptime. 7 casts to get the 1st AR, followed by 18 casts to get the 2nd AR, followed by 28 casts to get the 3rd AR, and 5 more to get the last AR right before he died. No refreshes during each AR, either (time compared - not expecting a "refreshed" log).
And this was with pooling and with frequent rip refreshes. Uptime would have likely been ~20% had I not.
That's essentially the story of every pull I'm below ~35% AR uptime. You can have minor influence on the uptime if it procs, but when you're going 20-30 casts (or more) between procs there's nothing you can do to salvage it and your dps will be dumpstered as a result.
What's the point of putting a giant rng element on top of the most intense rotation in the game? gah
