    Do your duty roulettes, potd, clan hunt logs. Apparently 51-60 in potd is fast if you can endure the repititive gameplay in there. 60-70 just do your msq, roulettes and both clan hunts in Foundation and Kugane. 60-70 is a beast in potd as 69-70 requires 10.8m exp which means potd floor 51-100 three times.

    What I do at 60:

    precast Foe Requiem > Straight Shot > Song + Raging Strikes > Windbite > Bloodletter > Venomous Bite > Barrage + Empyreal Arrow > Heavy Shot > Sidewinder > Heavy Shot/Straight Shot if proc > second Song + Battle Voice

    From then on I just spam Heavy Shot or Straight Shot if I get a Straighter Shot proc, use another song when the current one is down to 2-1 seconds, use Iron Jaws whenever the dots are down to 2-3 seconds and use battle voice whenever it's off cooldown. Pre 70 I find that Empyreal Arrow is the best use for Barrage so I save it for that, but I will use Empyreal Arrow off cooldown unless Barrage has 1 or 2 seconds left. Bloodletter and Sidewinder I also use off cooldown, weaving them in between heavy shots/straighter shots/iron jaws. If Pitch Perfect is usable, I'll always use it at 2 stacks if I don't get all 3 within 2 GCDs, also throwing it in between GCD skills.

    When out of MP, I use Refresh to help bring it back up faster so I can reactivate it, keeping it up as often as possible. Peloton is also a must in PotD as it makes runs take slightly less time due to more movespeed.

    I feel that once the initial burst in on CD, your priority's to maintain your dots, always have a song up, and use battle voice and foe's requiem whenever possible as well as keep the straight shot crit buff up at all times for slightly higher crit chance on dots for song procs.

    DPS Rotation for PodT? Dude, just spam Heavy shot. You can't shoot more than two arrows anyway before the target dies!
