It seems that with my 245 gear, a 20/51 Rupture build is still ahead. Interestingly, for glyphs, KS, Rupture and S&D is the best combination by a margin of about 20 dps compared to KS/Rupt/SS.

Played around a bit with 18/51/2, using rupture cycle and glyph. With my current gear (4/5 T8.5 and the rest being mostly ilvl 232/245), 18/51/2 comes out ahead. Then I upgraded to 4/5 T9.5 + heroic...
