3. The SE/DS rotation is your "I need some HP" rotation. Don't expect a lot of incoming heals from this, its more about maintaining. You'll rarely be using this rotation.
I must be over-thinking this or missing something huge, but what in the world does DS stand for? If it means Dark Side than this makes no sense since Dark Side isn't a part of any combos at all, it being a toggled buff and all that.

Unless OP is simply stating Soul Eater without Dark Arts is not worth it most of the time, which perhaps could have been worded better imo. Anyone else have an idea?
