Is there a link to his support for that rotation? I thought Shifu doesn't affect the dot and because of that Yukikaze would benefit the dot more? I'm just curious because I know Dervy always has strong support for his rotations and I like learning about them.

A lot of Darcy's derivations have worked under the assumption that you have a WAR applying the slashing debuff. They are usually labeled as such - Opener (/w NIN/WAR).

I'm guessing that's the case here too but since I haven't seen Dervy's post on this one, confirmation would be good. Still, that seems extremely likely just looking at that opener. I would do the Yukihaze combo in place of Kasha if no one else is providing that debuff.

"to be used w/o nin/war as well for now"

Research is ongoing, afaik, and I'm sure Dervy will come to the forums upon conclusion.
