In thinking about it some more, powershifting every cycle would indeed make Wolfshead Helm worthwhile, although in all practicality, powershifting every cycle is not completely realistic.

Btw, this whole Wolfshead Helm discussion was also discussed on page 35.. so we are rehashing an old debate here. But to bring a contemporary DPS benchmark fight back in, if you were to use say, Brutallus, where most guilds are probably averaging 5:50-6min kills right now, you are looking at potentially 30 powershifts to JUSTIFY the use of wolfshead helm (b/c the mathematical benefit shows it pretty much non-existent when you powershift every 2nd cycle)

Realistically speaking, from someone who tends to powershift a decent amt (i think I end up powershifting every 2nd or 3rd cycle), powershifting every cycle would seem rather overkillish to me, for such a small benefit. Not to mention instead of using "/cancelform /use Haste Potion /cast Cat Form", it would turn into "/cancelform /use Super Mana Potion /cast Cat Form", which on its own is probably a DPS loss right there.

It also can't be quantified really, how often I end up powershifting, only to see that my 2pc T4 procs right when I did it, effectively losing me another 20 energy

Just an experiment before you take the Wolfshead Helm theorycraft too far for a 2nd or 3rd time, just attempt a few fights where you powershift before every rip. You'll end up wasting a lot more energy than you think.
