cause there is like what 20 or 30 seconds before they are up again? after you dot the first target and the dots are greyed you target the next and wait? what if exciting is down I forget the recaste but i think its a few mins anyway.
also again I think it boils down to -- doing what benefits the raid most or looking peronally good on the parse. In mutilple encounters you want to burn one down as fast as possible to limit the mob dps. where as this style is more boost my personal numbers. And I am not saying thats wrong or right it just depends on how challenging the encounter is I guess.
I think the Parse is the best and worst part of this game.

i hadn't intended this to be a play by play, but rather simply how i change my my normal habits to maximize dps on AE encounters. I'm not sure what class you play, but the info you have here is a little off. Scraping blow has its recast at 7.7 seconds, Cloaked assault at 23.1 seconds, deadly wound at 15.4 and flowing wound at 23.1, during exacting. During the apparent gaps in time iam not differing from my normal habits, hence why it wasn't included. During exacting there are 9 CA's with significantly reduced recasts, plus 9 with a 1 min recast or greater excluding them from exactings recast reduction and damage increase, but have faith, its enough to keep busy. The goal here is to keep your DoTs ahead of the damage so they reach there full duration, the MA's primary target i wouldnt trust to have more then a 30-40 sec shelf life, so while attacks like scraping blow have there recast of 7.7 they still need the 12 seconds to complete duration, so by tabing targets you can use scraping blow on another target when the first scraping blow still has 4.3 seconds left in its duration, during that time, launch a couple other CA's(as needed) on the secondary target until hemotoxin procs, switch back to primary target and continue with normal CA rotation. Exacting has a 2min 20 second recast for assassins with 5 points in the Enhance Exacting AA. Hope that answers your question, and clarifies my previous post for you.
