Arcane is not being fired as soon as available. Multi cannot be fired every 8 seconds. It's not really a rotation at all.


Also DPMana is not something that is even remotely the most important damage measure. SSC/TK bosses die quickly enough for a hunter to simply outlast them with pots and Mp5 food/oil/elixir. There are judgements and Vampiric Embrace. There are fights where burst damage is more important due to constant repositioning - Al'ar, Voidreaver, Lurker.

Arcane and talented Multi hit much harder than Steady, therefore need to stay in the rotation.
