Heh, thanks. I should note that I've talk to Adoriele about this some and I think he's going to use the 2-IS-per-cycle model in the next WC.
Moonfire is a bit trickier though. There are a few possibilities, assuming you don't refresh MF at all during an Eclipse:
1) 1 MF per cycle, right as Eclipse ends (right after you cast the first IS above). This gives one complete MF (24s) each cycle, for one GCD. The downtime is during Eclipse, however, which hurts a bit.
2) 2 MF's per cycle, essentially refreshed at the same time that you refresh IS. This clips the first one. 100% (very nearly) MF uptime, at the cost of 2 GCD's per cycle.
I haven't seen a detailed comparison yet.
For what it's worth, I think do a wierd thing which usually (1), but sometimes I refresh early during Eclipse if some procs have been slow. I should try watching more carefully.
An annoyance here is that it's really hard to practice the nuances of these things on a target dummy, as your crit rate is so much lower than in a raid.
