40 energy gain from shift

= 18 < 22 therefore powershift and repeat.
Unless you get a 2T4 proc or OOC proc (which would delay the powershift by one attack), you're going to run through mana extremely fast if the thresholds are that high wont you?

Like Astrylian said, I'll give it a shot and see how the mana works. If I run out I'll probably set Shred threshold to <18, based on your math above.
Threshold at 22:
40
60
shred
18
powershift
Yields 1 shred per tick, and 1 powershift/tick. Probably too mana intensive, but requires testing.
Thresold at 18:
40
60
shred
18
38
58
shred
16
powershift
Yields 1 shred per 1.5 ticks, and 1 powershift per 3 ticks. Sweet spot? Maybe. Requires testing

Yields 1 shred per 1.67 ticks, and 1 powershift per 5 ticks.

Abstracting:
Set threshold at 20-2x
Total ticks until cycle repeats: 1 + 2x
Total shreds until cycle repeats: 1 + x
Total ticks per shred: (1+2x)/(1+x)
