The only way with base 20 piety to get it is to time your cast so you get an UI3 Mana tick after T1.

Spreadsheet First page shows each opener and which race is eligible for it.

If you do want to try it with your current race which I see is Seeker of the Sun without a Scholar in your group. Buy 2 Hymns and respect to emulate Keeper of the Moon Miqo'tes Piety + Scholar buff. Put 2 Piety for the race Piety difference and add 7 Piety to emulate Scholar buff and you should be able to test it no problem. The second Hymn is to respec your stats back.
I believe he's talking about going from AH3 > UI3 at the end of his rotation and what to do there, not his opener. I could be wrong though!
