PB opening
etc.

You don't need Mercy Stroke but you will definitely want Invigorate. Rotation seems fine but rotations on paper rarely translate directly to in-game actuality as you're probably aware. Waiting for GL3 to apply ToD is what I do, too. If I'm not doing a PB opening, I usually use Demolish on first rotation since it will be falling off right around the time I get GL3 up to reapply the stronger one; depends on the fight but I typically save PB for "uh oh, lost GL" moments rather than for openers...the only consistent exception is turn 4 start where I PB to spam Rockbreaker on the bugs at the start, otherwise a normal 20s windup is fine because I'll get hate otherwise if I open with PB and burst too hard at the start (with current gear including relic+1 I get about 290 DPS [can we talk about DPS?] on a target dummy over a 90 second window FWIW but that's not a realistic number to expect in real combat--200-250 is more normal for single-target fights without a ton of movement). I generally leave True Strike out in any pass through my forms that I use a non-form skill (like ToD or Fracture) to make sure Twin's buff stays up. I don't have the SS to rotate it consistently.
