Is there something hidden from the numbers that makes it a bad idea?
    Potency per beast gauge. There's some math somewhere but I couldn't tell you where!

    I'd be curious to know if anyone has this math available. It seems counter intuitive unless there's some rotation trick I'm not using that would never require me to use BB combo.

    10 gauge has a minimum value of 50 potency, bb is only 20 potency more than path combo. Literally the only time it would be a dps gain is if you have both onslaught and upheaval on cd and are in a situation that would result in wasted gauge.

    It's flat out better to just dump 20 gauge on a 100 potency onslaught every now and then (when you're gonna over-cap on gauge) than sacrificing 10 gauge for just a 20 potency gain. It's as simple as that.
