Good starting spell rotation?

I have been trying to maximize my dps alot recently to try to solidify a spot in my guild. I'm 80 and i'm having a tough time outparsing the 77 dirge in our guild.. I did 1426 zonewide last night in MMIS and the other dirge did over 1700. He was in the MT group which helps but I still have 3 levels on him.

I have taken advice from all these posts in the dirge section and that has helped more than enough, but I havn't really seen anybody post a good starting spell list.

This is how i usually start..

Banshee on inc,
shriek while running in,
bump to SoD
CoB,
shroud to grim strike,
rhythm blade,
HO for swindlers,
then other combat arts from there...

anybody have any input that would greatly improve my rotation? I'm not really sure when I should be casting the two main debuffs, keen tactics and clara's too. Any help would be more than appeciated, thanks.

Banshee on inc -> toggle ranged attack (Jael's if target > 10 meters after Banshee lands)
Clara's or Daro's
Shroud to SoD
Rhythm blade
CoB
bump to Garsin's
Chain 1 (Banshee should expire after this chain hits)
Ludas
Chain 2
Lanets
Wail of the Dead
Repeat

Chain 1 = HO starter -> Verlien's -> Infected Blade
Chain 2 = HO starter -> Tarven's -> Grievence

PS. Fuck T8 spell names

Edit - Oh forgot to throw Shrieking Stab in there. Oh well!

Thanks for the quick feedback Kall.. I will try this rotation out asap.

Another quick question... I had just gotten my dirge to 70 right before the expansion came out so I had yet to pick up any of the EoF fabled set... well after running FTH and MMIS last night i picked up my boots, chest, forearms, and shoulders... I wont be using the boots since i have the Trooper Scale boots... but I noticed that alot of the good dirges still use 3 pieces for the CoB bonus. Would wearing 3 pieces to quicken CoB recast time improve my dps greatly? Only thing i'm worried about is that it takes precious time to cast CoB, and now i would be casting it twice as often pretty much.

I'm pretty sure it added about 100-150 DPS on a zonewide when I got my 3 set bonus. More importantly is the fact that it adds that much to almost your entire group.
