Your opener ignores the infuriate trait. Your IR window is delayed far too late. A better opener would be [unchained>toma+infuriate+equil>eye combo>deliverance>FC>IR+5x FC+upheaval+onslaught]. If you want to be extra safe with aggro, you can add a butcher's block combo while under unchained's effect. You blow too many defensives for an opener that is mostly covered by the healers too.

Then just swap back to defiance and throw eye chain and a couple emnity chains (using unchained before skull sunder) with OGCDs weaved, you'll never lose hate, and still keep a very high and comfortable DPS level.

This is monstrously inefficient. You are waiting 19 gcds before you even zerk. That is 47.5 seconds. That's half of a zerk, deleted. You wait over 40 seconds to even use infuriate. You are just throwing away free damage to do bb, eye, path, path, eye. Before you do anything. Don't do 6 full combos before you bother to actually use an opener. You miss every raid buff window too.

Unchaimed. Toma. Infuriate. Eye combo+equal for threat+tob. Deliverance+IR. FCx5+onslaught+upheaval. That's the opener.

Followed up by path, FC, infuriate, FC, eye combo. Then your on ez street with another upheaval and standard eye, path, path with FCs and upheavals as able.
