speaking of defensive cooldowns, can someone tell me how they handle it? I tried making a cast sequence that summons the ghoul and sacrifices him, then casts a couple deathstrikes and pops the 20% damage reduction skill. The problem is that i'm usually fairly stunlocked or silenced and can't seem to get much off.
Do you guys go into blood form when focused? Anyone that's got any defensive macros sure would be helpful.

thanks
