    Really Because Ive noticed about a 40-100 DPS increase upon using that at the start of a fight during that duration. And the only GDC that is lost is Swiftcast. you still get a fully RS buffed contagion, Fester/Drain/fester and the usual Ruin filler spam. Even if it was a "Loss" I doubt it would be very significant at all, As Miasma 2 Is more then Adequate to cover down for SF in a buffed state before you slowcast. My FC along with myself did some numbers among several of us Main SMN's compared several different starting rotations, to include the above standard so far the method I provided above won out, Either by alot or by a small margin. Im going to say it all comes down to how the player behaves in that first 30 seconds. However.. Its only a starter, Certainly not recomended for use mid-fight as then you will actually lose DPS and Mp based on a number of reasons.

    Before pull: RS + Int Pot
    At pull: Bio 2 -> Miasma -> Bio -> Fester -> Miasma II (Queue Contagion as you Miasma)-> Swiftcast -> Shadowflare -> Rouse -> Ruin II -> Spur -> Ruin II -> Fester -> Ruin II -> Enkindle -> Ruin -> Ruin -> Ruin II -> Fester -> Ruin II -> Aetherflow

    Since Enkindle is so far down and Swiftcast as been used, it is a DPS lost to have Ifrit for Inferno.

    isnt it better to place 3 main dots before using rs+int ? since you can use fester twice with both RS+int up, then reapply the dots again.
