There really isn't any damage loss. According to your rotation, you are not putting anything on the boss until you are set into position. If it takes someone a GCD to get into position, then SW: P is a very good option, especially if they're in a caster heavy raid. Even 1 tick of SW: P is more damage done while running to position than nothing at all. Please show the damage loss if it takes a GCD to run in. Several raiding guilds use more than 7 casters in their raids, so your "at most" 6 casters is incorrect. Stating anything about damage loss is kind of a moot point when you socket 5 Purified Twilight Opals.
