BoTD was still far more forgiving and had nearly double the duration of GL that it was still miles ahead of maintaining itself than GL and any of its maintenance tools. If GL lasted 30 seconds then it wouldn't be so farfetched a comparison but 16s max uptime vs 30s max uptime, even in the event that I was able to refresh GL prior to a transition and getting hit within the 16 seconds, I was looking at a 2s different BEFORE DRG hit BotD to get an extra 20 seconds on top. It's still a flawed comparison.

2 Wind Tackles-Riddle of Wind combos per minute (as they are each on a... 30 second cooldown) = 2 GL per minute. Anatman has a 1-minute CD and is only optimal up to a single tick of the server tick during uptime, i.e. 1 GL per minute.
Except PB was on a minute long CD so to do the Tornado Kick Rotation on anything but in minute increments would be an absolute nightmare to actually pull off without being a DPS loss. The options were to get a weakened Demolish off due to having used Tornado Kick beforehand or having it land on a Snap Punch to minimize the losses, not to mention the reduced potency on the other skills you weaved during the build up to GL3 again.
