[BEAST] Optimal nuke multibind order?

What's standard practice on live? Ordering by damage? Refresh timers? Anything else to consider?

By pure damage right now in HoT on phinny it'd be:
Maelstrom > frozen venin > bite > ice 1 > ice 2

my multibind is Frozen > Maelstrom > Dicho > dot (> if I'm feeling saucy I put Convivial on the end so it casts between fights)

What you have posted is how I had my multi bind set up from HOT to TBM.

Can you elaborate? And why not more of the available nukes?

The nukes are less damage than the initial "nuke" portion of the DoT, Poison > Frost DoT.

The tradeoff is it is mana intensive to run this type of a setup, so you're looking for 1 of 2 sets,

Maelstrom > Frozen Venin > Dicho (not dissident) > Poison DoT
OR
Maelstrom > Frozen Venin > Dicho (not dissident) > Bite > Cold 1 / AE Cold 1 (if AoE's are okay, quicker recast + more damage > Cold 2 > Poison Dot

Save Cold DoT for GoMana procs on high HP targets / bosses, during burn never cast a nuke your looking strictly at Maelstrom > Frozen > Dicho (against not dissident) > DoT only regardless of mana issues.

Dichotomic and not dissident to save mana, or?

Yeah. The core benefits that make the spell so great didn't advance from version to version. Dissident does return a lil' more mana, lil' more hp, lil' more endo, but the amount didn't really increase commensurate to the cost given bestlord's already profligate mana use. Dissident is technically worth it, if you have mana, but the chance that you might not cast it due to the cost is worth avoiding.
