    Blizzard II x3: Potency 50 (ALL) Total Potency = 150 (ALL)
    OR 450 POT on 3 mobs
    v
    Thunder x3: Potency 30 + Potency 35/tick Duration 18s = Total Potency 240 (2-3)
    OR 720 POT on 3 mobs

    Total Potency on 3 mobs:
    Blizzard II Rotation = 4,080
    Thunder Roation = 4,350

    Too hard to calculate Pet DMG here but it will lessen the DPS the gap between these
    two rotations, but as is, that is:

    4,080/4,350 = 93.8% OR a loss in 6.2% TOTAL DMG on 3 targets w/o pet

    However on 5+ targets Blizzard II does actually increase your TOTAL DMG exponentially per target increase and also Blizzard II will increase AOE burst DPS for both 2-4 and 5+ targets. Sometimes mobs die before DOTs expire, which is particularly bad for SMN trying to level up or earn Gold in FATEs.
