    I'll admit that I'm not even close to being a top tier DRG, but I try to always include my Jumps in my rotation.

    Impulse Drive Combo-->Debuffs-->Heavy Thrust-->Monk Buff+Blood for Blood-->True Thrust+Vorpal Thrust-->Life Surge-->Full Thrust--> Jump Buff-->Jump-->Spine Dive&Dragon Dive

    direct burst?no no no, spineshatter dive, dragonfire dive and reverse elusive jump are all gap closers to reduce dps downtime

    Depending on the fight you don't want to be weaving Spineshatter into your Rotation. Some fights require a timed Stun for specific interrupts on boss abilities. Using Spineshatter will count towards the DR Timer on the boss.

    I like to weave a Jump in after a True Thrust combo since it about takes up the GCD time, but in some fights it's not the best idea to let yourself get locked into an animation if there's a lot of AOE attacks or something.

    "jump aren't safe", guys... I can't remember how many times jumps saved my ass...
    On titan ex, I got a rez during a landslide, I could not avoid it so I jumped (stunning jump) and instead of being knocked-back I was safe on the boss. This is one of the countless examples I have ... drg that are not used to use their jump are bad because they don't have the reflex to use them when it can save their ass from a mistake. And the deference between being alive and dead for a dd is eveything.
    Dead dd don't do any damages.
    We (drg) are given amazing tools (and very cool), it's a shame not to use them.

    I use my jumps all the time.

    I mostly use spineshatter jump as a distance closer though, and save basic Jump and Dragonfire for damaging. But that's just me personally.

    u can jump and still move now , u arent locked in place anymore

    weaving jumps is a huge dps boost (jumps are off GCD)

    life surge >full thrust + power surge > jump for burst dmg , 1300 dmg + 1100 dmg in the same GCD? <3

    Depending on the fight, I may keep spineshatter or dragonfire on CD for increased mobility. T6 comes to mind, if you're doing the briar strat since it lowers time in/out significantly, as well as helping get the bee down faster.

    2 GCDs worth of time there, and it would be more efficient to use something between power surge and jump, as they're both off the GCD. Doing surge + jump back to back causes you to delay your next on GCD ability.

    Also 1300 full thrust with life surge? I wish I had 110ilvl already, because i90+ with an allagan weapon doesn't even let me do that on trash.

    I use Jump when Power Surge is off cooldown as a combo bonus with a Life Surge Full Thrust (They both share the same cooldown so it's good to pair them.) And I will use jump OFF That cooldown if I need an extra burst for a DPS check.

    Dragonfire Dive and Spineshatter dive are gap closers, Dragonfire dive used as a priority when I should not stun or there are multiple DPS targets in range. (Also use it on gathered trash.)

    Elusive Jump I used either to close or gain gaps depending on circumstance. It's a powerful maneuvering tool and hate drop (I can pull hate off my tanks if I'm not careful, so I use it as insurance.)
