You could use Geirskogul continuously during adds or trash but it will require cycling your combos. But i wonder if the 200 potency is even worth while when you can just do back to back doom spikes. You can get in 4 doom spikes in the time it takes to do 2 geirskoguls...and 200 potency on drg isn't much to write home about, it's slightly stronger than Doom spike and doom spikes now, do about 500 on average, which is like 1/15th of a trash mob's HP in an expert dungeon.

The point of GK is not for AoE damage, but it is an oGCD that we will use to increase our single target DPS. It just happens to do damage in an AoE, like the Monk's Howling Fist. It's not a move our kit is based around, but a move that supplements our existing kit. You'll still Doomspike adds like normal, but if GK is off cooldown and you can use it without a DPS loss (mechanics, BoTD uptimes etc.), then you just use it. It's that simple.
