Dropping Atonements was unnecessary even before the 6.4 changes. With the 6.4 changes Atonement no longer cancels combos, so you can safely hold one or two for FoF or to get better timing on your combo refresh.

This is still necessary
Dropping Atonements was unnecessary before and it's even worse now.

In addition to holding HS procs for FoF windows where possible, you should now also attempt to hold Atonements for FoF when possible, taking care to spend any remaining stacks before pressing Royal Authority.
