Anyway, OP, heavy thrust is 100% required, there's no Weird Muta-Meta where HT can be left out of DRG's rotation. Kick bads, don't encourage or carry them.
Actually, there is. If you are about to lose BoTD and the cast is on cd iirc it's better to drop HT to maintain the BoTD if dropping phelb alone isn't enough
