SMN Rotation/priority question for endgame raids/content

Again, my assumption is that you can spam ruin 3 out of DWT until it dies without MP constraints, as AoE packs don't live long enough, and afterwards you can regen MP before the next fight. You want deathflare to hit for it's maximum potential, because it's massive potency, it won't hit a target that's already dead, so you lose DPS from hitting it too late. You also don't get maximum potential if you use it when everything is at such low HP that it's massive overkill. You get far more DPS out of using deathflare at full potential than you'd get from the 10% buff of using other abilities under DWT than if you'd just use it after the deathflare.

So basically, you want to deathflare as late as possible while still getting it under maximum potential, if you use it after a mob died, you used it too late, if nothing was at about to die, and you use it early, then you wasted buff potential.

Hmm, gonna give that a shot next Sohm Al hard then. Although dunno how far I'll get since most everything is dead by the time Trance comes up anyway. :/
