Optimal BRD rotation?

[whiskeybravo]

These are pretty noobish questions, but I'd like to know for sure..

Battle Voice.. Do you have to use this before you start singing for the effect, or can you use BV while a song is being played to gain the effect as well?

I tend to BV first then sing, but this wastes a couple of seconds, just wondering if that's what you are supposed to do not..

Second noobish question..

Straight Shot procs.. If you get a lot of these it's a real drain on TP.. Should they be popped everytime until TP is an issue or right before you're about to lose the proc.. I kinda do it both ways depending on the fight.. Just trying to find general consensus on this.
