After add phase, all I have up is Jump+SSD (sometimes), DFD (I save this for after Ferro), and BotD. I use IR+B4B near the end of add phase (usually on the final Piston wave; I'll burn mine down then SSD to whichever tank is having trouble to finish that one off). Others will pop it after the last Ferro in adds phase goes out, so you will definitely get your 9 gcds and such.

Either way, it won't be back until after Ferro, so there shouldn't be a dilemma as to when to use it.

There's a small contingent of people who don't like to use B4B during adds, but there's no reason not to. You'll get +1 bonus B4B in the fight that people who DON'T use it there won't necessarily get. Plus, you can get double/triple gsk hits under that b4b if the positioning is friendly!
