you should never use CnS this early, it will miss SE/trick>.>

CnS is used this early to additionally buff aggro with raw damage.

BLM will be casting fire IV at the time you use hard slash, so this CnS raw 450 potency dmg is still valuable hate increase, even if it's not a enmity increased skill. Sacrificing 20% dmg (from Grit) and other 20% (trick, slash debuff) will be returned once you drop grit 7.5 seconds faster than if you had to use one more power slash just for BLM.

If there is a ninja in the group and they are using Shade Walker, then I like to move DA+C&S until the SE/TA from the Ninja for added Damage over threat Generation as its really no longer necessary for threat buffing.
