1. I've actually used the TA opener I listed and the only thing at risk of missing TA is the second Bhava. Raiton makes it in just fine. Seems like Gust slash does miss the pot window though, so Bunshin should be moved up 1 GCD.
2. You're right. It over-capped by 10. Just means Meisui needs to be pushed back after Raiton and the first Bhava moved up after the second Suiton. Thanks for pointing that out.
3. I'm not sure I understand how this is worded. If you mean to say using Aeo instead of Spin in TA is a dps gain, you're correct, however it can also knock the alignment off, and if this causes a bigger loss from other classes over NIN's gain, then it's a moot point (unless you don't care about raid dps).
4. I'm not sure where this percentage number came from. If you mean mudras over-cap for 2 GCDs, then yes, you are correct. If you can math it out and this consistently leads to a loss of a Raiton use over the course of an entire fight, feel free to use everything within TA a GCD or two earlier.
5.Again, both Raitons fit within TA just fine. Only way it won't is if you have high ping.
6. Again, if using TA up to 10 seconds gains you an extra cast overall, feel free to do so.

Lastly, like Salted Earth, Doton isn't affected by TA (going off what FFlogs says anyway). It snapshots the buffs you have when it's used. Plus, since you use Doton before TA, it ends up doing less than Raiton (because again, both fit within TA).
