    You could also vercure yourself on the way up the steps

    That triggers your gcd and costs 2.5 of your precast time.

    You shouldnt need to be using anything involving dual cast before a pull.

    In dungeons, use veracure on yourself to get rid of it.
    On raids, dont use it pre pull.

    The question is why do you have dual cast on before a dungeon/raid boss pull?

    Is it on? -> veracure to get rid of it
    Why is it on? -> I used it on something -> veracure to get rid of it.

    It's a niche situation where your tank pulls the boss quickly after the last pack of mobs. But by all means, keep picking at practical advice to a problem OP had. Triggering dualcast to fall off with vercure can eliminate the advantage of precasting, if the tank pulls during the gcd of the instant vercure tick. Take the knowledge and move on.

    If you're pulling to the boss room, which is usually about 2-5 seconds before you reach that room, you should be able to get your dual cast off before you even hit the room. But by all means, keep picking at the simplest solutions the OP had. If you're a smart rdm, you should be able to control your quick veracure before the boss room or even entering and hitting the middle room of the room. I can't think of any dungeon that wouldn't allow you more than 2-4 seconds, where dualcast couldn't be turned off by the time the boss room is hit or the pull begins, especially at 70 >_>

    The minute the last mob is about to die, how are you not using dual cast veracure to get rid of it? What are you waiting for exactly? The end of time? I'm curious, as this has never been a problem, whether pug, potd, raids and trash mobs, but seems to be a simple solution. Understandable you're trying to maximize your dps, but unless it's raid/savage content, may be thinking a bit too much about the situation o.o
