    Shadowflare is 25 damage per tick for 30 seconds, which gives it about 250 potency for full duration. It is always worth dropping in all but the most abbreviated AoE situations, and even in single-target fights where it will tick for about 27 seconds it's still a damage gain, especially given it does its work even if you have to cancel cast to move. However if the fight is single-target and it will end in less than 24 seconds then Broil II spam would be superior, assuming you weren't interrupted during it.

    In other words "yes" for AoE and stationary boss fights, "no" for weak things that die quickly and bosses that just got to get up and dance all over the room.

    Shadowflare now 50 dot for 15s = 250 potency, So we can get full damage in shorter time.
