I rather only use T3 when i get thundercloud in those situations. Or at times were i get some lag and such and mana does not fill up after Ice 3, then the cast time of T3 allows mana to be refilled by then
The reason most ppl start off with T3 for their opener is because of the extended DoT time. This allows you to get off your Swiftcast/Flare/Convert/Fire1 while the Dot is still ticking. For example if you were to use T1 or T2, it will fall off before the end of your opener giving you a few seconds where thunder is not ticking. At least thats what I think. I personally do not start off with thunder at all. I just start with Fire3>Raging Strikes>Fire1, etc. With not casting a Thunder spell, it allows me to get an extra fire spell off with the Raging Strikes buff. This is just my preferred method.
