This is misleading because RS does not reward a fraction of the energy. It's all or nothing. It might average to 5 energy over 5 uses, but overall, you should expect not to have the 25 energy...

Please not also that using Mutilate (http://www.wowhead.com/spell=5374) this early in the fight could potentially not include the 20% damage increase because the target is not yet poisoned.

I think that the real answer for Revealing Strike would be for it to apply an RvS buff in increments of 4% every time you use SS, so that after 5xSS, you have 20% on the next finisher.
