Ya. I came to the same conclusion haha.

I started my 5's yesterday and everything went swimmingly. Opened 10-0.

Then I started running into double/trip healer teams. I hadn't yet setup any focus strang macro's since I was JUST doing arenas to get guild rep for BoA's.

Went 5 and 20 over the next 3 hours I think.

Today I made my strang macro and went 7-5 with 3 or 4 of those losses coming before the macro was working properly.

What I've done is make a secondary DPS key which keeps my DPS spamming while also firing off strang every 3s.

I'm debating setting up a double focus system with 2 DK's focusing 1 and 2 focusing another. Then setting up a second strangulate macro that will pass the first 2 steps immediately and then hold off on the last 2 for X seconds. Since we are all about killing fast and DR's on strang will render 4 on one guy pretty much pointless.
