You should have some other spell to cast instead while letting Bloodcoil continue to damage as well. If you wan't to make such a claim, back it up with parses.

Splurt is a huge increase to DPS no matter how BoE is implemented, as Soulrot and Pandemic aren't going to be overwritten before they expire. Bloodcoil and Vampire bats can be spread onto multiple tartgets allowing them+Splurt to run its course even when having to spam them. Splurt also makes us favored for Upbeat Tempo, as that 6th tick will continue with higher damage.

what other spells? bats does not proc anything and tbh my casting flow is flawless as it is, nothing else worth casting.

btw i just checked spaming does more dmg
with 5 proc items on spaming did total ext 517 dps and letting the spell tick did total 379 ext dps.

you're loosing dmg if you let the dot tick unless you're dotting several mobs.

yea but splurt won't affect life taps or lifeburn and based dmg would.
splurt works well for those two spells but falls short on the others.

If you sat there only casting Bloodcoil, your testing was flawed; as you sat there doing nothing instead of casting in one. Of course procs are going to happen more in the case you're not leaving deadspace. On the trial where you allowed coil to tick, replace the missing casts with something you ordinarily wouldn't cast like Pandemic.

i cast pandemic... the deal is EXT DPS if you let blood coil tick you loose dmg period.
