Makes sense. I try to only use only use Hawk eye rather than both of them so that I can still have Raging Strikes available once Wildfire is done. For instance, I always use this combo when attacking Bismark, but I'll Raging Strikes available to use on the adds so that they don't overpower us while my other cooldowns are recharging. Is it generally better to just let your DPS fall off without any buffs during add phases? Should we be playing more of a DPS Burst/Lower DPS rotation, or a Consistent DPS*/Minor Burst rotation?


*Assuming Quick Reload would be used very often now that its cooldown is faster.
For DPS you 99.99% of the time use every CD straight away since it all multiplies with each other, a situation where the sum is greater than the parts. It's not like tanking or healing where you want to stagger CDs for situations, usually it's just use everything as it comes up, and that involves using every CD at the start. Some fights will have throttle some of your CDs due to a quick phase change, like Titan HM back in the day, but usually saving CDs for a purpose better involve AoE or multi-DoTing otherwise.
