    It's not so much a rotation as a priority system. What you cast next depends on whether or not you get a proc, whether or not you have dualcast and how full your mana gauge is.

    Basically with dualcast, every other spell is instant. Veraero and Verthunder both have long cast times, so you don't want to cast them on their own. You first cast Jolt in order to activate dualcast and then cast Veraero or Verthunder.

    Once cast, Veraero/Verthunder can proc (activate) Verfire or Verstone. If you do get one of these procs, then you proceed back to cast Verfire or Verstone. If you do not get a proc, then you go back to step 1 (Jolt) and start again.

    Next, after casting Verfire or Verstone, dual cast will be active again. Instead of casting Jolt, you can go directly back to Veraero or Verthunder to make use of the dualcast.

    So basically you need to prioritize your abilities on what is needed and available next.

    If you keep trying to think of it as a set rotation with a series of perfect button presses, you aren't going to make it work. You need to understand what each ability does and what it needs to work properly. You need to be capable of adapting regularly.
