Yeah the first WS needs to be used from correct positioning, the one that completes the combo doesn't, though. So for ARC I have to run away from the mob and get some distance, then do my WS. I can complete the combo when it's closer than 8 ft. You know you're doing it right when the skill to complete the combo is highlighted in purple.

I just don't see why MRD's don't stagger when they do it or team up with THM's to AoE stuff. I think using whirlwind in a combo reduces the timer on it... or something. With 3 MRD you can do it on every pull, just need the 1k TP for the first WS. 1-2THM's can clean up the survivors with their AoEs. Doesn't really make for any slower leveling in my opinion, just more organization.
