So an update on my rotation as a the first one was bad.

Start

1st Bootshine > True Strike > Snap Punch
2nd Dragon Kick > Twin Snakes > Demolish
3rd Perfect Balance > Snap Punch > True Strike > True Strike > Demolish (I can only do 4 attacks). If I don't have PB this time I go Bootshine > True Strike > Snap Punch
4th Dragon Kick > Twin Snakes > Snap Punch > ToD
5th Bootshine > True Strike > Snap Punch (I Know you lose your Demolish around this time)
6th Bootshine True Strike > Snap Punch (I wanted to pour the max DPS i can at this time)
7th Dragon Kick > Twin Snakes > Demolish > ToD
then Repeat


Please tell me if I have to change something and rate it if you will
Oh! Btw the reason i don't begin with PB is that i want the debuff of DK and buff of Twin Snakes to be there although im throwing away the Demolish DOT at the 2nd

It's easy to fall for the thought of wanting Dragon Kick's debuff or Twin Snakes up before PB, but fact of the matter is a single stack of Greased Lightning is worth more than DK or TS, and therefore getting to GL3 as soon as possible nets the highest increase in DPS.

After many trials, I've arrived at the opener I posted some pages back in this thread as the optimal case. Give it a shot.

EDIT: Here it is:

Demo > BfB > Snap > IR > Snap > Steel > DK > Howl > Snap > DK > Twin > ToD > Demo > Boot* > True > Snap > DK > Twin > Snap > etc...

*Alternatively, one can replace this Boot with a DK, and make it so DK never drops. Should the DK here crit, it would be no different from a Bootshine anyway. On the other hand, if it does not crit, the DPS loss from it is theoretically greater than the DPS loss from having blunt resist down for 2 skills.

Also, you can always get 5 skills in on PB. I do it with almost no Skill Speed gained from gear. If you're not managing to do it, then you're not timing your skills or buffs, and in turn delaying your GCDs.
