note the 1590 parse had both trick attacks crit for 4.8k which inflated the numbers
non of the initial AEs crit'd

opener was suiton-se(kassatsu+ir)-gs(b4b)-de(jug)-se(ta)-gs(raiton)-ae(dream)-se(mug)-gs(duality)-ae
observed burst was around 2.4k

the problem here however, is that after your DAE, there is 6 seconds left on DE and 4 seconds remaining on b4b while ir has long expired.
I chose to throw my dots up as they would still benefit from b4b thanks to snapshots, but after that i had to do a full 3 gcd without slashing debuff, which killed me a little
so even even ignoring the dps loss from dots within TA, the fact that you have to drop DE for a bit or apply dots without any buff makes this inoptimal.

following the standard rotation with my own optimizations, i land 1640+ over the same duration consistently.
i can make a video if you want, but i cant figure out how to record the parse side by side and im weary of the forum ban that may follow it, so take what you will.
