Even with a pot up, I think this holds true - but if you have math that shows otherwise, I would genuinely like to see it as I'm not 100% confident.
You would need to parse the 9 energy drain opener under potion with slight clipping vs your opener of energy drain only after instant cast dots to see which is best. As we know parsers are not allowed, and i am on a ps4 so couldnt do so anyway . Its the opener i used on SCH in Alexander Savage which seemed to work for me, and i know others that use this opener. But saying that, i know others that use your opener. Perhaps someone can find out for us.
