War DPS rotation question

[Brian_]

Losing the small amount of time on the opening is not a big deal unless it lines up poorly with a boss immunity window or costs you a Berserk usage during the fight. So your opener might be perfectly fine. And, the double FC portion of a manual stack building opener should still line up with Battle Litany. The only way the third would line up is if you use the pre-infuriate triple FC opener but it would be a tight fit.

And of course you parse higher on a shot duration parse. You are cutting off the low DPS manual stack building phase.
