Please go find statements of mine to the contrary. What I have argued is that the loss isn't worth getting bothered about unless you are a spreadsheet hero.

Also as another poster commented in a long ago thread, you are solely focused on SCoB whereas I am not. Stop applying your worldview onto statements that are encompassing more than your narrow focus.

In addition, you say I do not go for SSPD in virtually every post, yet you ignored my statement and question. How is my Novus build not a SSPD build? Where have I ever advocated anything other than a SSPD build?
How on earth does it let you be more flexible with your rotation. If anything, T1+B1 is more flexible than T2 because if you get a quick mana tick, you go into Fire phase without B1, if you get a slow tick, you do a B1 (or a scathe if you need to move).

T2 is less DPS, less flexible with movement (due to the longer cast), and less flexible with mana ticks.

Now, what excuse do you want to come up with now so I can disprove that. You've ignored all the facts and evidence in this thread, and used tired cliches about how theorycrafting doesn't translate to real world dps, yet it always does. If anyone is being narrow here, its you.
