Did they factor in the fact that you're not working towards gaining any Sen during this rotation?

The Reddit post does do all the math for it. Using the YEG Combo comes out to about 138 extra (I think) potency than doing something else since it's 10 Kenki and only 1 GCD. Yaten and Gyoten are instant, as is Enbi (to cast it), doing it fast enough, there's little chance you might even miss an auto attack with it. And if you do happen to miss 1 auto attack its still an increase.

Not to mention, I've been building rotations with YEG in it and it really helps with spacing things out appropriately. With YEG, my Yukikaze/Jinpu/Shifu buffs get refreshed with around 3 seconds left as opposed to rotations without YEG where they get refreshed while there's still 10 or 12 seconds on the buffs.

YEG has also helped create proper spacing for Higanbana timing and a secondary Hagakure.

A rotation I built without YEG, I ran into an issue where I had all 3 Sen but Hagakure was still 10 seconds away from being off Cooldown. I could use Midare, but it would be more efficient to use Hagakure right when it comes off CD instead of after I build them up again. Inserting a few YEG combos spaced it out perfectly.

In another instance YEG helped prevent a Midare and Higanbana from needing to happen at the same time. I had just built 3 Sen, and Higanbana ran out. I would have to Cast Midare, and have Higanbana off for 2 or 3 ticks in that situation.

YEG helps space a lot of these elements out eerily well and it does it without a loss in DPS. I think we'll find it very essential to the rotation, but that's my opinion...
