One thing to keep in mind is that Catform GCD is 1 second, caster GCD is 1.5. An ideal "power cycle" ends up looking like this with no crits (energy in parenthesis):

00:00 (100)
01:01 Rip (70)
02:00 (90)
02:01 Mangle *1* (50)
03:01 Shred *2* (8)
04:00 (28)
06:00 (48)
06:01 Shred *3* (6)
08:00 (26)
10:00 (46)
10:01 Shred *4* (4)
12:00 (24)
14:00 (44)
14:01 Shred *5* (2)
14:01 -Cat Form
15:01 +Cat Form (40)

You will always do more DPS by letting your energy tic to full and then rip-mangle otherwise you end up having to mangle multiple times per cycle which is bad.
