Don't forget, Gauss Round adds about 38.92 potency every 2.64 seconds and once you're in GB, you're stuck in it for 15 seconds. So you'd only have 5 seconds of non-GB time every 20 seconds, which may net you 2 auto-attacks, if that.

Well, the idea of stance dancing is to get the benefit of both. You would never want to miss a gauss round to get AA. But with the insta casting nature of gauss barrel, it COULD work. I like the idea of stance dancing (not only because it sounds cool) but it may not matter over the course of an entire fight. Its not unreasonable to think that you could have used lead shot, ricochet, and gauss round and have 20 seconds to kill before your next gauss round.. You would "theoretically" have higher dps in that 20 seconds if you stance danced. Most likely the complexity would end up hurting your dps in the long run if you mess up during the rotation.
