For the Feast, what is the best way to burst? The way I see it, there's 2 options:

Precast your buffs (BL,B4B, IR, BOTD) open with spineshatter > HT > TTT combo. This allows you to weave damage oGCDs(not sure best order), while making sure full thrust is under Life Surge. This seems preferential to me because in all the streams I watch, the target will die faster (gives the enemy healer less time to react if they're chain stunned or slept). But your initiation will be telegraphed, and you will have less sustained damage to mop up the remaining targets who usually flee.

Or alternatively open with spineshatter > HT > chaos thrust combo and begin by immediately double weaving your buffs (BL, B4b etc.) You want to apply Impulse rush before chaos thrust so that the positional requirement is nullified and end up using life surge on your 4th combo. You will have maximum uptime on your buffs, but your burst will be slightly lower (take 5 gcds instead of 4).

Thoughts?
