Reinforcement - am I using this correctly?

Hi Guys

I've only recently got reinforcement and I wanted to double check if I'm using it correctly, mainly cos I'm not sure I am.

I started using it as a secondary backup to rescue, if I lose agro, use the +1 up the threat prioirty with reinforcement. But I wasnt finding this was really working well.

So then I cast it on pulling, so say I'm doing a body pull, taunt, high dmg CA, then reinforcement. My thinking was as soon as I pull the DPS in the group will be unloading so this will help me keep agro?

Is this how its used?

IF you are losing agro on pull it is fine to use it then, on pull. But start your pulls using Decimate as it is a 100% hit with a debuff, followed by Acceraltion Strike and taunt HO.

Setinal Strike and Sneering Assault are great agro establishes, keep them in your rotation. Try and keep Sneering Assault as a snap if need be.

If you are AoE specd try using reinforcement followed by assasult, this will lock them onto you.

Get your weapon speed below 2.0 and time your autoattcks, as you want your autoattack to account for roughly 60-65% of your DPS. Your autoattack is your most consistant damg for agro.

With the new agro meter using Reinforcement when DPS spikes htting 90% is a good time also.

I use mine especially when I hear dispatch through my ACT, meaning mob is debuffed alot and DPS increases most then. DPS classes use their biggest nukes when Dispatch is cast.
