    This does not change the fact that Monk already double weaves before this. Your suggestion means that Monk would have to TRIPLE weave. Even if Form Shift functioned exactly like mudras, it does not change the fact that other oGCDs do not. Just stop it with the pettiness already.

    An extremity if I've ever read one. The theorycrafter thing is completely irrelevant.

    Anyone worth their salt as a DRG will use jump right next to the target, so this is irrelevant. It ultimately only does damage and has animation lock. Spineshatter can be used as a gap closer but ideally and most likely never is, instead being used purely on cooldown for, again, damage. Dragonfire dive doing AoE is the only thing that sets it apart, just like other AoE oGCDs. You could just have two buttons, one for damage and one for AoE, my stance regarding hypocrisy doesn't change. Ultimately though, in most encounters, especially in Savage, it will only be doing single target regardless.

    If there is a phase that requires all the DPS/Tanks to be more than 15 yalms from each other, or you are isolated, chances are you also aren't DPSing, which means you also aren't using riddle of fire. There is a small handful of situations where you are completely isolated, like timegates in A12S, which is now defunct content. Also, yes, there is an intrinsic link, you can ask any Monk player who's worth their salt and they will tell you that you always RoF with Brotherhood. Though sure, continue to tell someone who plays Monk how those two skills aren't constantly used together, as someone who doesn't even play the class I might add. You're literally grasping at straws at this point.
