Using the damage parameters of the chart,

Fast Blade + Savage Blade = 1,125

x2 Halone = 1,500

If you are trying to build and maintain threat, using a non-comboed Halone is superior than the spiky threat of the Halone combo.
So you are generating slightly more hate on the 2 first GCD then a truckload less after (825 from the previous page calculation) ...
Is it really the superior way ? Every 3 GCD you are losing that much threat potential.
Why don't you ask the other players to let you build hate first ?
