Help with WHM DPS

IIRC, the optimal DPS rotation goes something like:

Cleric Stance => Aero 3 => Aero 1 => Aero 2 => Stone 3 (until a DoT falls off)

If I feel I can fit it in, just doing Cleric Stance => Aeros => Cleric Stance is usually sufficient, as that puts me back into healer stance, and there's enough time spent casting to drop cleric.

However, all of this is about to change in about 3 weeks.

Everything will indeed change in 3 weeks. However, I wanted to point out something.

Cleric Stance => Aero 3 => Aero 1 => Aero 2 => Stone 3 (until a DoT falls off)

Aero 1 should not be used except under 3 conditions as it is a DPS loss to use Aero 1 over Stone 3.

Basically the 3 conditions are;

1. When moving.
2. When you have Fluid Aura and weave it right after you use Aero 1.
3. When you have Assize and weave it right after you use Aero 1.

The reason is because Aero 1 has a total potency of 200 while Stone 3 has a potency of 210. Using Aero 1 without weaving an ogcd damage ability will thus result in a DPS loss.

Of course, all of these will change come SB. You won't need to use Cleric Stance to DPS after SB since healer damage will use Mind stat instead of Intelligence.
