...when the heck do I use Six-Sided Star or Tornado Kick?
For six sided star you use it when you need to disengage a boss for 2+ GCDs (not very often), or just before long downtime, or as a execution type move at the end of a fight.

Use TK for boss jumps where you can at least get back up to GL2 and into coeurl form to start with GL3, and again also used as an execution move just before the boss dies. Also, use it if you are going to lose GL anyway (shouldn't happen outside of long cutscenes)

Sidenote for TK: the damage from the ability is applied very late. Around 1.5s after you hit the button. Therefore using TK into 6SS usually results in a weaker 6SS but guarantees enough time for TKs damage to apply to the boss incase it jumps.
