I suspect that if you tried some Str/Haste gems, you'd find DPS even higher. Gemming 'All Str' or 'All Haste' is unlikely to be be the perfect solution for any player. Which is basically what the...

If you have 3 or 4 HP, you burn the proc for an all-holy TV, then use CS (hoping to re-proc). Judgement is just delaying those two actions.

6% bonus to the first ~4.5 seconds of ES (GCD since you cast the Exo) vs pushing back ES at least 1 GCD. 4.5/10 * .06 = .027 vs 1.5/60 = .025. So 2.7% bonus damage vs 2.5% damage lost due to...
