3.1 0/13/58 glyphs and rotation

Read the topics about this spec and everyone's putting imo, confl, inc glyphs. Why doesn't anyone put LT glyph? I just want to know how better are the other glyphs? For example incenerate glyph?

And a question about a rotation.

I start with CoD/E => Immo => CB => Confl => Inc, Inc, Inc ...

So there is this part that confuses me: When casting an immolate, after it has been applied I still have my conflagrate spell disabled for a half of a sec or something like that, CB doesn't have it so I pull it off first, is this right?

And the second, what is better in dps - Backdrafted CB+INC+INC and then non backdrafted INC or Backdrafted INC INC INC and then CB? CB has a lower cast time, so clipping off 30% of the cast for the longer casts will be better, or am I wrong?

Glyph Of Life Tap doesn't worth it in 0/13/58 because you have Improved Soul Leech, which allows you to go through many fights without the NEED to Life Tap, just because you got enough mana.

Plus, it has been proved that LifeTapping once every 20 secs can result in a loss of DPS, even with the +damage buff of the ILT Glyph.

For the immolate conflag problem, the best thing to do is what you suggested, Immolate > CB > Conflagrate, juste because you won't be able to cast Conflagrate as soon as Immolate lands on your target (thx lag).

Concerning your last point, personnaly, I cast Chaos Bolt whenever its cooldown is up, as long as the immolate DoT is still up on the target. I don't think you should keep your chaos bolt cast up waiting for Backdraft, or waiting for the Chaos Bolt cooldown while you have your last Bacdraft stack.

But, i've got one question for you deep destro guys. This spec's rotation is rather simple, but when you start it, it looks like this :

CoD > Immolate > Chaos Bolt > Conflag > Spam Incinerate > Conflag > ...

Okay, stop, once you've casted your second Conflag, there is 2 seconds left on the Chaos Bolt cooldown, and 3~4 seconds left on the Immolate DoT. What do you usually do ? I usually do :

... > Incinerate > Immolate > Chaos Bolt

The incinerate cast may not land while immolate DoT is still up, but the reason why i'm doing this is clearly because i want my Chaos Bolt to land while Immolate DoT is up. DPS-wise, it seems reasonable, but I lose like 2~3 seconds after the Chaos Bolt cooldown refresh.

Is it better to cast a Chaos Bolt as soon as it is available, or take the time to cast immolate then Chaos Bolt ?

Re: 0/13/58 glyphs and rotation

very often i cast another immolate before cb to have the Cb landing with immo up.
sometimes immolate lands after the last tick of previous immolate. with my latency, i begin to cast immolate when 2 or 3 sec left of the previous immolate.
(if more than 3 sec remain from immolate dot, cb or another immolate ^^ )
Sorry for bad english.

Its a bit situational what I choose to do in that situation. If my mana is low I often chose to use that second to lifetap (as I still need 3/3 in supression for the hit I dont have imp soul leech) or I choose to clip my immolate and then cast CB. Clipping may be bad but with the upfront damage of immolate Im not sure its that bad in this situation as it allowes me to get CB of faster - any comments on this are welcome.
Other times I just do the extra incinerate and then immolate-> CB

Wouldnt the best use of GCD's or the initial rotation be;

Immolate -> CoD -> Conflag -> Chaos Bolt -> Incin Spam

And then priority rotation starts?

Re: 0/13/58 glyphs and rotation

It was my understanding that the LT glyph worked best with the four piece T7 gear. Is that not true?

Well, I don't think this is true in the 13/58 Destro build is kind of a waste.

Your specced replinishment, which gives your mana back which always means less life tip more damage uptime.

Here is Fallenman's clarification of the Life Tap hysteria

Uh, back in BC, I think I looked into casting Shadow Bolt then putting up Curse of Shadows before it hit, and the CoS didn't effect the Shadow Bolt Because the Shadow Bolt was casted first. Even though it didn't land first.

So my theory on this is even though the immolate falls off, as long as incin leaves your hands before immo falls off, that is all that matters. Or mabye even just starting the cast of incin before immo falls off. This is something easily tested at a test dummy. But I am still rocking affliction even though the damage is going away fast.

I think the buff has to be present for it to take effect, since your spell isnt buffed from immolate until it lands on the boss.

So if immolate falls of .5 seconds before your incinerate lands, the buff from immolate is no longer there, therefor not giving the damage increase.

I could be wrong though. Just brainstorming.
