Is it more threat to keep using Lacerate as a filler until I need the Pulverise buff, or is a three-stack Pulverise more threat than a Lacerate (or, indeed, should I leave Lacerate just to tick on its own or something)?

after using Pulverize stack up Lacerate and use Feary Fire and Swipe (even with single Targets) as a filler. And ALWAYS use Mangle if ready it produces the most threat.

However, the crit buff lasts less than Berserk, so would it be better threat to get an initial three-stacked Pulverise buff, then re-stack Lacerate to three, then use Berserk, and and use Pulverise halfway through the Berserk buff to refresh the Pulverise buff? Basically, I'd be trading one Mangle during Berserk in order to give the remaining ones the crit buff from Pulverise - not sure which is more threat.

Thanks in advance.

in my opinion stacking up lacerate after Pulverize, in order to refresh the Pulverize buff during Berserk is the best choice, because

1. The Lacerate dot produces threat as well
2. Lacerate ticks produce Mangle proccs !! (and as we all know: Mangle>all)
3. Keeping up Pulverize during Beserk = more threat

but don´t stack up Lacerate during Berserk: Mangle Threat>all
