Re: Dirge Parsing (skill mapping)
I'll try with an honest anwser, even though there are plenty of threads around with that same question if you just searched the dirge forums a little.
Banshee is our 3rd or 4th most damaging spell and it does usually land, not get resisted. As with Scream of Blood, Banshee does more damage the longer it is on the mob. So you want those 2 on the mob ASAP and maybe, just maybe get a second banshee off before the mob is dead (unless you're sure that it won't go off before the mob is dead). Best if you cast Banshee when the mob is still inc. Keen Tactics > Clara's > Sneak > SoB > CoB would be a better casting order.
After that it's just about spamming whichever CA/spell is up, but you still will need to determine which spells do the most damage and get priority over others. Like Luda's (fuck T8 skill names) would take priority over every CA/spell except maybe Shriek Blade. I never got into HO chaining, but there are posts about that if you do a search.
Regarding Gravitas. Unless the mob has a chance to do a raid wide AoE on pull, you're better off not casting Gravitas until the mob is getting closer. The spell effects all heals, even the spells that were already cast and are still in effect. This way the defiler will get more time out of the spell and not waste 10-15 seconds of the spell just because he's waiting for the tank to get hit.
Gravitas also isn't necessary on most trash mobs, so you can forgoe casting it and still get away it :P
