Should I use T3 procs in place of F4? Or just ignore until Umbral phase?

It's a priority system! The first rule is:
If your T3 is ticking, let it tick as much as possible. You can always let it tick thrice (9s).

For TC location in your 3.X rotation:
At the end of the UI cycle (guarantees full mana for next AF cycle) > Somewhere in your UI cycle > Somewhere in your AF cycle

For TC location in your 4.0 rotation (assuming no Triple or Sharpcast up):
At the end of the UI cycle (guarantees full mana for next AF cycle) > Somewhere in your UI cycle > Before your Fire (lose a Fire IV) = After your Fire (lose a Fire IV unless if you have Firestarter)
(If you get a Firestarter proc, you can refresh AF, so delay TC as much as possible, then use it and refresh AF. Sharpcast is equivalent to the Firestarter scenario, since you're guaranteed that proc)

For TC location in your 4.0 rotation (using Triple after F3):
At the end of the UI cycle (guarantees full mana for next AF cycle) > Somewhere in your UI cycle > Before your Fire (after Triple'd 3x Fire IVs) = After your Fire (before Triple'd 3x Fire IVs)

I think I lost track of the amount of times TC timer disappeared in the 4.0 rotation. I definitely prefer using it more in 3.0 rotation.

Edit: I would like to add that I cleared the extreme training dummies faster with the 3.0 rotation then I did with the 4.0 rotation.
