The way lyth dod the calculations ends up claiming it would need to be 220 to break even which is just incorrect. Of course its not 'worth using' under the tool tips we have now (baring specific gcd ending and 'spendable' resource considerations). Im not saying it is. Just showing where the break even point actually is.
I cannot analyze your argument fully right now, but I probably don't disagree. The technical break even would probably be 185 potency if we place 0 value on future blood, but this would also mean quietus has one purpose and one purpose only, realizing the mobs will die in one more hit and you won't get mana from your aoe combo. Again, all of this analysis depends on the current known build and we'll know more in a few days.

The main point that I would want to get out is that the current aoe build actually has very limited use for Quietus at the moment with it being a loss in most cases, and having an extremely niche gain in one case.
