uhh, they have addle-less 11 WW rotation

Oh that's something new then? Cool. The last time I read anything about them was before the patch.

every gcd clip can potentially cost you hundreds of potency, and there are dozens of situations in the game currently where this is the case. Simply saying "if you crit once you make up for this loss" is a flawed argument as you would have the potential extra global as well as the crit without it.

My points is that you're making one statistically insignificant event to be something bigger. Let's say you lose one F4 to Manashift because you have to clip it. Using my own last Neo numbers as an example, my DPS would drop by 25 or ~0.5% on average. Who cares? Sure it'll start to add up, if you continuously clip and lose casts, but we're talking about one Manashift in ice here.
