    After this, it's mostly a priority system depending on how the fight goes. You want to refresh Dots when they have < 3 seonds remaining, same deal for Shadow Flare if the boss won't move for 12 seconds minimum. Make sure to use Ruin II in before using off-gcd abilities. Whenever possible, be in melee range to be able to auto-attack the boss.
    This covers most of it. Personally I modified my T9 slightly in the first phase documented below:

    PS: I also don't save Enkindle in T8 for that first Dread anymore, often enough I've pulled lower numbers saving Rouse, Spur , Enkindle for that moment instead of just going full throttle on the boss.
