T5 DPS concentration

I was in a T5 pty and had some trouble figuring out when to unload everything. Should I be saving ALL of my abilities for the fast conflagrations? I tried that and the DPS went down 6% haha. Furthermore, when I just unloaded at opportunistic times I was outputting enough for the pty to say "We got this np" but then we missed the fast conflags by like .5 s ish.
I'm an i85 DRG, food was Acc or Crit att based. Last night was my first shot at T5 and we only made it to the divebombs phase once. Need some DPS advice :)

Thanks in advance!

Keep your cd for the fast Conflag. Not ALL your CD but like one at least. You can use pot too.

For the fast conflags make sure you preload an HT and ID on Twintania (HT when the fireball for the conflag goes out, ID when the player is targeted with the Conflag).

Then you can: DE TT VT FT*, with oGCDs in between (you should have at least Leg Sweep available, if not Jump). You should also use the BFB when the conflag target goes out (e.g. you can see it's not you). BFB will cool down just as the second fast conflag goes out, or just after (as your first oGCD).

* FT TT VT FT might be better. I haven't really looked at it in detail. The DE approach will enhance Bard DD as well, so is probably more effective.

Yea you want to avoid dumping ALL cooldowns on 1.

Best bet is what above poster said above. Pop your strong ones on the first one, and pop the rest coupled with a pot on the second.

I like to pop BfB when Fireball target goes out. It lasts through to the end of Conflag and ensures it's off CD for all hits to get the buff (even if it's just one extra, meh, it helps) on the next one. It's usually just coming back up as the next conflag target is selected.
If you don't have the gear (I suppose you do, but I guess as a general statement) to take the extra fireball damage though... probably don't do that

Erm. I got passed the Conflag phase, but I still can't seem to figure out which one is "fast" conflag is?

The 'fast' conflags are the ones you don't have a fireball to run into them and reset the conflag timer.

Ahhh! I see. Gad, I never noticed such things. Now it'll be easier to manage my cooldowns.

Thanks!

Specifically, the 2nd and 4th conflags

I suppose you do 4 man fireball? in that case the most difficult ones are 2nd and 4th and other even numbered ones.

I much prefer 3 man fireball, that way you can dump your CDs on Twin to advance faster or dump it on cases where your healers get conflag'd. It is even possible for one healer to get conflag and the other to get FB so both need to be in. then the MT also needs to be in. you need to get them out ASAP.

what I do for fast conflag is use any 2 CDs at a time except barrage and I put up flaming arrow when the fireball before that fast conflag is about to happen. When it's our heavy hitter monk/blm that gets in the fast conflag I use barrage+2 CDs just to play it safe.

don't forget to save your off GCD abilities like blunt arrow and I forgot the exact name of the other one but it makes you jump back.

Try to be familiar when the fast conflag is about to happen so you can use your dots on twintania for extra blood letters

Edit: I didn't fully read your post and only saw your main as archer so I assumed that's what you were asking :(

You can use IR and BfB for both fast conflags when they are up, I generally hit BfB when fireball goes off and hit IR as Conflag goes out. As long as you have a couple oGCD abilities up you should be ok, usually dies in 3 GCD's or so.
