MCH Opener and Rotation Help

[Heatkrieg]

After having read and seen a lot of guides on what the proper MCH opener should be like, I found myself lacking in the amount of damage I should be dealing with my opener. Now, I don't have a parser because I play on the PS4 but I have been keeping track of just how much damage I am doing by looking at my wildfire numbers and comparing them with the ones I have seen online. I currently do this:

Hot shot > HC + RS > Lead Shot > HE+Quick Reload > Split Shot > BFB+Reload > Slug Shot > Reassembled+Wildfire > Clean Shot > Rapid Fire > Ricochet > Split Shot > Gauss Barrel > Slug Shot > Head Graze > Split Shot > Blank > Clean shot > Quick Reload > Slug Shot > Clean Shot

I normally manage to fit in everything above within the wildfire window. The highest wildfire damage I've ever done was 6.2k but I think I was just REALLY lucky with the crits.

Alternatively, I've tried blowing all my cooldowns before lead shot so that it looks somewhat like this:

Hot Shot > HC + RS + HE + B4B > Lead Shot > Quick Reload > Split Shot > Wildfire + Reload > Slug Shot > Reassembled > Clean shot > Rapid Fire > Ricochet > Split Shot > Gauss Barrel > Slug Shot > Head Graze > Split Shot > Blank > Clean shot > Quick Reload > Slug Shot > Clean Shot

Equipment-wise, I'm a i183 MCH with the Ravana weapon, the i190 headpiece, belt and one i190 ring. Everything else is i180.

Your input on any of this is highly appreciated. Thank you .

The general consensus for the "best", and also a pretty clean opener, is:
HE>B4B>HC>RS>Hot Shot>(Pot)>Lead Shot>(Reload)>Split>(WF)>Slug>(QR+Reassemble)>Clean>(RF+Ricochet)>Split>(Gauss)>Slug>(Head Graze)>Split>(Blank)>Clean>(GB off if you want to stance dance)>Slug...

I honestly don't remember how I did in lower ilvls (I only recently got i190 w/ i200 wpn) but I can do testing sometime with i180 and see how it is.

If someone wanted to use this opener, but didn't want to use a potion for the content they were doing, in what way would the opener be altered to accommodate the "open" off GCD slot?

Nothing. If you wanted, I guess you could push RS into that instead of using it prepull and have that do its work on another GCD instead of Hot Shot (not sure where it lands though).
