[Sai-Kon]

With regards to rotations, I have run numerous opener simulations and I have come down to 2 builds: First one is the same as Daioh's. The second one I came up with beats the first opener slightly in terms of potency/time and abuses the fact that Iaijutsu does not break combos:

Hakaze (5K) - Yukikaze (15K) - Hakaze (20K) - Jinpu (25K) - Iaijutsu (25K) - Gekko (35K) - Hissatsu: Shinten (10K) - Hakaze (15K) - Shifu (20K) - Kasha (30K) - Hissatsu: Shinten (5K) - Hakaze (10K) - Yukikaze (20K) - Hagakure (80K) - Meikyo Shisui (80K) - Yukikaze (90K) - Hissatsu: Guren (40K) - Gekko (50K) - Hissatsu: Shinten (25K) - Kasha (35K) - Hissatsu: Kaiten (15K) - Iaijutsu (15k)

As you can see, it abuses the fact that I don't use the first SEN right away. Instead I get Jinpu first to buff the damage of Higanbana and then I cast it slightly before we get the 2nd SEN. This opener has slightly higher overall DPS gain over Daio's but it is surely not perfect since it suffers from certain shortcomings.
