Correct. There is no *risk* in doing this. The only downside is the 1sec longer cycle time.
Here's the math for it being a DPS gain: You normally get 6 rip ticks every 12 sec, or 0.5 ticks per second.
With this way, you get 6 rip ticks per 13sec, or 0.462 ticks per second.
In order for it to be worth using, those ticks need to be 8.23% stronger (0.5/0.462) on average. When successful, they will be 30% stronger. So you need to be successful 27.42% of the time (8.23/30) in order for it to be equal DPS.
Short version: If you can nail the timing 28% of the time or more, it'll be a DPS boost.
