I've been wondering about this myself. Perhaps you can explain?
The AB cycles option seems to assume you want to do the old trick of dropping the debuff while casting your next AB. How do you reconcile this with needing to spend another ~8 seconds before being able to AB spam again? To take example from your post above.
01:23.770: Arcane Blast (16121 mana)
01:35.200: ABAM3FrBCC (13121 mana)
02:19.460: Arcane Blast (14636 mana)
The spell cycles proves mathematically that ABAM3FrBCC is the ideal foil for AB spam, but how much value does this proof have when it is impossible to execute? How can Rawr actually calculate AB ramp-up times when the spell-cycles calculation doesn't take account of casting order? Or does it?
