You would use flash to round them up shield swipe for a nice aoe with damage and emity, fast blade, riot blade (add more mp regen since we will be using more), FoF, GB, CoS. The idea being we no longer need to spam flash or rotate RoH combo to hold good aoe emnity.
You realize that CoS would then be a 550n-potency ability, right? With just 3 GCDs setup, it'd be almost 40% stronger than Deathflare (almost 50% if you compare FoF vs. RS), or almost roughly twice the damage of Warrior's Decimate.
This also wouldn't reduce Flash or RoH usage (except by allowing for a higher portion of RA given the massive GB-CoS enmity spike). It would only prevent GB rotation, using it instead only every 3 to 4 combos (to ensure the full duration is ready for CoS spread, if high skill speeds would otherwise waste 3-5 seconds' duration).
