I have not gotten my bear friend to stand still while I pound on her yet (my melee version of dr boom), however for a long time as a backstab rogue my cycle was backstab-rupture-repeat. I had based this off of that formula, so it could be wrong, but I noticed an anectdotal increase in dps when I went to that from five point ruptures. Though that could also be an odd artifact of the fact that backstab-rupture with relentless assult takes, on average, eight seconds to regen the energy from, which happens to be the same amount of ticks the rupture runs for, so I was able to keep it running constantly.

I will be experimenting, because theorycrafting with excel it seems to me that the ap at which that happens wouldn't be that high in BC numbers, but this was the conclusion I had come to and had been working off of for a while now.

Did anyone else do these sorts of tests already?
