Loss of a full dot AND increased damage reduction?

Painflare on three adds is 600 potency. Bane on three adds takes your dots on one of them and spreads it. So it's only really the damage on the other two. 80 and 64 potency ish per tick. Takes bane 12 seconds to do the same amount of damage. Better off just dotting adds individually and painflare.

I think they should make Shadowflare be up whenever you like. Take off the cooldown and put it back to a useable spell. Would help lessen the blow a little bit >.>
