No because in reality, your goal is to buff all your DoTs before applying them. As a dragoon, you want to at least want Internal Release and Blood for Blood up for them in your opener. If you just do HT then Phlebo, it is not them optimal way to go. You want to suck as much damage as you can do. Sure you could pop BFB and IR between HT and Phlebo, but it would still be less potent than with Disembowel, plus you are delaying your CT to be running and buffed. So I think you gain more to do it after CT than after HT. Gives you more maneuver to buff yourself properly without any pressure, the base potency of phlebo is buffed, CT is running earlier too, and it feel so god damn smooth to do.
