    So basically it would be 1. DE 2. Mutilate 3. SF in rotation order?

    As for TA stuff, open with suiton -> DE build up, on DE use TA -> Mutilate -> DWD -> SF build up -> Aeolian build up?

    I've always opened with mutilate -> SF -> and then DE

    I would use SF before mutilate (higher potency so uptime is more valuable). As for the opener, it objective it to hit your highest potency moves (which are SF, Trick Attack/Sneak attack, Crit Raiton, and AE) under all of your buffs (Slash debuff, B4B, Vuln up (from TA), and potion). As I noted Raiton is no longer affected by slashing debuff and obviously you can't get TA under it's own debuff but the other move placements are to ensure that you get all of those moves under all the buffs. Duality cannot be used on off GCD moves like Trick Attack and Ninjustu and also does not apply DoTs twice so the highest potency move you can use it for is Aeolian Edge. In the rotation, every one of those moves will be hit under all the buffs with the exception of TA under it's own debuff. You also cannot use TA later, as you will loss the suition buff, or earlier as it will fall off before AE. Since SF is you're highest potency move (of all for that matter), you definitely want to use it when all of the buffs and debuffs are up.
