Trying to optimize RDM rotation

It's essentially the same as what you're suggesting although the timing is different. For example, assume 1 is the casting time/recast and 2 is the execution. The standard opener of Acceleration+Diversion at 10 or so seconds followed by hardcasting VA/T at 5 seconds results in a 1221 pattern. What you're proposing is essentially the same, although the execution of VA/T comes later (Assuming you're precasting Vercure) making a 1212 pattern. Personally when running swiftcast I like to use it when I'm at 40/41 and swift VA/T the lower the element so I get the extra mana from being 51/41, overcaps a little, but eh. As far as I can think of there's not really a disadvantage to what you're suggesting except possibility of the .5 sec animation lock from Swiftcast.

Both ways have the same chance of generating Stone/Fire either way and the same mana generation.
