Red Mage: Some quality of life (or lack thereof) quirk that raiders will want to know

Was he auto-attacking?

It's entirely correct that you use jolt/impact/stone/fire normally to get your dualcast procs. The play in the video is actually quite bad. It just brings up the fact that if you hardcast an aero into a thunder or similar situation, such as on pull, there's a chance server delay will mess that up. Otherwise, the flow works just fine due to the 2s cast of the other spells to the 2.5s gcd.

If you watch the video, you'll notice that dualcast is still on his buffs bar while he's casting veraero, and the subsequent verfire that happens right after ends up consuming the dualcast proc and casts instantly. There was no autoattack damage. This is definitely an issue with server delay and spell queues.

I did watch. Sadly, I can't get perfect quality on my phone. Just saw that he was very close to the boss.

I assume that's fine when it comes to the casts of the 2 second spells in comparison to the 2.5 GCD, but then that means that you wouldn't have a problem whatsoever right? I don't think there's any situation where you would want to hardcast the 4 second spells instead of using Jolt II for the Dualcast

Well, as I said in the OP, there is one situation where you want to. On pull, you start casting one of the spells when the countdown hits 5 seconds so that it'll hit on pull, then ideally you want to immediately use the dualcast proc on the other spell. It's strong opening burst and a small lead in mana generation, as well as proc generation.
