    A 3 Minute parse is a burst parse, your Crit RNG will probably have a bigger effect on the number than whether or not you use fracture.

    I believe that if you do the opener where Demo is your third GCD and you don't put up ToD until after PB falls your rotation will look something like this :

    ... > Demo > ... ToD > Demo > ... ToD > ... Demo > ... Fracture > Demo> ToD > Demo > ..

    That's one fracture per ~3 Demos : ( I don't wanna say the rotation starts over at the Bolded Demo, only because I can't recall what that Demo's time will be at when you do the ToD after it, but we can treat it like it does)

    So we can simplify this, and I mean simplify this alot because there is a lot more math that goes into this than what I am about to do:

    1 Fracture per Minute or so (though it feels like you use it less than that, closer to 1.5 ~ 2 Minutes IMHO), instead of a having ~1 Clipped Demo. This means that instead of

    (Demo - 1 Tick) + Demo + DragonKick/Bootshine. We have :

    (Demo) + Fracture + Demo.

    In this case the Italized Demo is the one you applied ~21 seconds before and you are risking the clip.

    The Potency difference is : (350 - 40) + 350 + (225+150)/2 = (350) + 220 + 350 + Delta.

    Delta = 220 + 40 - 187.5 = Very very roughly, 72.5 Potency gain a minute before you factor buffs and debuffs like GL3, Twin Snakes, Dragon Kick, Was Internal Release on the previous Demolish, Was Battle Litany, Was Blood For Blood, XPot, etc...

    I'd very very roughly ballpark it around getting 1 Free shoulder tackle every minute or so if you do it optimally, but again this is very very very rough math. IMHO Fracture is a neat trick to push dps a little bit more but it is not worth it if you do not take the time to learn when is the best time to use it, if that.

    If anyone wants to check what I posted and revise/tell me I'm wrong, please do, its been a while since I sat down and played with numbers in front of a striking dummy.
