Why would you want to do "as much DPS as back in SB" when you're fully able to do far more by just using Impact properly? You're gaining 1 extra Mana per Dualcast cycle at the cost of 100 potency in an AoE situation where our AoEs have no damage falloff... All so you can get Moulinet 1 GCD faster? When Moulinet actually does less damage than Impact?

If you really want to play that way, you should still be using Impact most of the time;

Verthunder II > Veraero II (7/7) > Verthunder II > Veraero II (14/14) > Verthunder II > Veraero II (21/21) > Moulinet (3 Dualcast cycles) - Combined potency - 920 per mob
Verhtunder II > Impact (10/3) > Veraero II > Impact (13/13) > Verthunder II > Veraero II (20/20) > Moulinet (3 Dualcast cycles) - Combined potency - 1120 per mob

But lets just do things properly instead;

Verhtunder II > Impact (10/3) > Veraero II > Impact (13/13) > Verhtunder II > Impact (23/16) > Veraero II > Impact (26/26) > Moulinet (4 Dualcast cycles)

Now, doing a combined potency for that is a bit unfair, it has a whole extra Dualcast cycle in it, after all... Lets just compare in terms of GCDs though. Both previous methods had 7 GCDs worth in them for their potency. Lets take the first 7 GCDs from above and combine their potency - 120 + 220 + 120 + 220 + 120 + 220 + 120 = 1140 per mob - Do I even need to bother saying more?
