Original Post:

One thing about those bladestorm numbers. Yeah, you can start that fourth BS, but wouldnt it be as the boss dies?

The 4 and 4.8 reflects when it comes off of CD, you should run DPS time on the boss, divided by CD of BS + Active BS time.

6 min fight = 360secs. Lets just assume its 6 mins of pure DPS time. The CD on bladestorm is 1.5 min. (90 secs)
Plus the 6 secs of BSing. So every 90 secs BS is used, every 96 secs BS has completed.
360/90=4.
360/96=3.75.

Cant exactly round 3.75 up either.

Well it depends on when the CD timer starts. If it starts when you hit it then the numbers above are correct, if not them go with mine. Most CD's do start ticking once the ability is used, but i dont remember specifically if bladestorm is one of them. Once the realms come back up we can take a look see, unless someone happens to know it as a fact.
