Simulation (to figure out lucky "clash avoidance" patterns) is done in the post you linked.

I really don't know how much more we can talk in circles about this, it has been discussed over dozens of pages previously (the addition now being the new mechanic of RV and that has been resolved) and that conclusion was reached:

-Casting CS is in almost all cases more beneficial than casting DS first (unless multiple mobs obviously)
-FCFS DPS is the way to go
Thanks Avitus. My apologies for not being clear earlier. I am working to follow this thread but must have missed some posts. Again, thanks for the clarifications.
