    My opener consists of using this methodology: Hikaze -> Shifu -> Kasha (1 Sen) -> Hikaze -> Jinpu -> Higanbana -> Gekko. Then hit Meikyu Shisui for the other two... and Midare + Tsubame.

    That allows me to get Higanbana up with Shifu + Jinpu, but not have to lose a Sen or delay Higanbana excessively.

    All I'm saying is - if you arrive at a mechanics tight phase where casting Iaijutsu becomes overly difficult, you can use Hikaze -> Jinpu/Shifu to delay using your Isijutsu without 1) sitting there and doing nothing, or 2) generating a 4th Sen that becomes useless, and 3) not interrupting your rotation heavily (your immediate Midare is delayed, but now your next one is 6 GCD away instead of 8). The only time this becomes a true DPS loss is if it delays Tsubame going back on CD. And that DPS loss is only really felt if you lose an entire Tsubame due to fight length/excessive time not on CD.

    You should be able to execute this because I've proven that Iaijutsu does not reset your Combo position, so you can Midare -> Kasha/Gekko for minimal DPS time loss if you cannot execute Midare immediately due to mechanics.
