Also, though I may be wrong, since last patch I believe it's more AoE DPS to spam LB on everything first and then start rotating.

Lastly, though most likely not as critical for raids, be aware DB's disorient overwrites Shockwave's stun, which if you're using a warrior for tanking may mean you'll pull much faster, particularly if you're in DB range, which is melee, which means your agro threshold is 110% rather than 130%.
