Managing CD's

[crueltyoks]

First time poster however have been reading fusion forum threads and Stratfu threads since I was on Turalyon. I am currently raiding on Cenarius. Reason for the post is as follows:

1. Recently dropped JC and picked up Engineering for the Hyperspeed Accelerators.
2. Before picking up Engineering I used to Pop my IV, Mirror, AP and Racial. whenever they were up. Used to Pop AP again by it self and then again when it was aligned with IV Mirror and Racial. I used to not pop anything during bloodlust since if i did use IV and Racial id have close to .7 sec arcane blasts which did me no good. so my question is Should i be lining my AP with Bloodlust if pop'd in beginning of fight and then USE IV with Racial and Hyperspeed Accelerators after the bloodlust is over and also when/what should i align my Hyperspeed Accelerators with during the fights.

I feel like my damage output could be higher with current gear, any help at all with my current problem would be much appreciated.

Ill link my armory link if interested at all.

How you stack cooldowns depends a lot on how long the fight is going to be, but stacking MI+AP on top of a BL at the pull is almost always going to be correct, partially because other things are very likely to go off in conjunction (ie, DFO will start procing, BM will proc, etc.). With your haste level, you definitely do not want to use IV with Bloodlust, because it pushes your AB/mbam casts way under the GCD, and it gets even worse if you proc BM with those up, etc. (Assuming of course that you have full raid buffs.)

If, say, you had a 3:30 long fight with a bloodlust at the start, you're probably best off popping MI+AP at lust, using IV as soon as lust ends, then holding your third AP (which would be off CD at 2:53 into the fight assuming you used it at 0:05 and 1:29) to coincide with your 2nd IV (which would be ready at 3:09, assuming lust was at 0:05 and you used it as soon as lust ended). That would also line up nicely with MI, so you get MI #2, IV #2, and AP #3 in sync.

Rawr has a cooldown solver that can tell you for your gear and the fight duration what the best way to stack cooldowns is. (And then the ICC buff goes up 5% and throws your plans out the window.)
