    Is it better to stack/stagger buffs or use them one at a time? Every time my DoTs need to be refreshed, I pop a cooldown. I've read some rotation guides saying it's better to stagger them - like Internal Release --> Windbite --> Hawk's Eye --> Venomous Bite --> Raging Strikes --> etc. but I don't understand why that's better.
    1. Quelling strike can be use beginning of the fight and also anytime when boss transition to a new phase while wiping all aggro. Eg: Garuda HM, Ext where you want to start your dps but do not want to pull aggro.

    2. Basically you would want all of your buff to be under CD. Meaning, use it when they are available. But first, you would need to gauge the situation of the fight. Will you be in a burn phase soon? Will the boss change phase soon? Will you receive any major damage soon?

    If you need the buff for burn phase and that phase will come very soon. Then save your buff for that phase.
    If the boss will change phase soon (boss will go invulnerable for a set amount of time). Then save your buff till the phase change is complete.
    If you are going to receive a lot of damage soon (titan's tumult, titan's jump, etc). Then BfB should definitely be avoided. save it till that part of the fight is over.

    Always go Raging Strike > Windbite > Venomous Bite and not the other way around. This will ensure your DoTs were powered up.

    Windbite before Venomous Bite. As Dot crit from Windbite will refresh your Bloodletter CD. You need to keep these two Dots on the boss/enemy at all time.
