Dragoon relies on confident usage of cooldowns and a steady roation being laid out. LS, BOTD, bfb, IR, unless these things won't be back up when you absolutely need them or you won't get their duration, use them. Experiment a little bit with your cooldowns finding a balance between uptime and saving them. You should be determining based on dps checks, burn phases, dead time, and add phases when you will get the most out of your main CD's. For example you saved BFB until 1 minute into the fight choosing not to use it in your opener. Had you just used it off the bat you would had it up in 20 seconds later than when you hit it but gained the effects of a 30% dps increase -twice- which is huge.
