Ultimately though this change stands and falls with SE's ability to even put Skills on shared charges (don't see why not, but then again it's SE...).



Hmm, I can see where you're coming from. (The Idealist in me wants to say thats what EAs should be for, but the Realist tells me SE might need another expansion to make that work, so...)
On one hand I think divorcing Fester and the DoTs might make it a bit too easy, on the other hand though proper play is already rewarded through stronger Ruins now; and Painflare has nothing to do with your DoTs either so... why not? Alternatively, should they choose to lower Fester usages per minutes they could just redistribute the lost Potency into Festers base potency, so it has 200 base + 100 per DoT for a total of 400, giving you 300 Potency after using just Bio III for a 1 GCD burst.
Honestly if they do shift Fester away from Aetherflow and give it 300 pot base, I'd say just get rid of the DoTs all together, and shift the potency into Dreadwyrm Trance, maybe by letting Deathflare stack to 3, and giving us an different hardhitting finisher, maybe put Megaflare in somehow.
