V. Basic Gameplay
Interrupt key opponents, no one should be using their heal skill all mid fight 
Main Skill Rotation
No rotations, Will add tricks though 
Chaos storm lock
Time your interrupt to lock your opponent in your chaos storm ( immobilize ) and rain damage upon them while they are stuck in a pulsing daze.
Pistol Daze Chain
Try hard much rupt chain =p
The goal here to to immobilize your foe in chaos in storms pulsing daze by interrupting with magic bullet for CC and the pulsing daze will push your foe up to max vulnerability while you perform a shatter-rupt combo with mantra of distraction and mindwrack + blurred frenzy. This when fully executed can kill bunkers.
Anyways if you like this guide share it with your friends and give me some feedback (haha pun not intended).
Second, would you rule out Mesmer Runes to prolong the Dazes?
Congratz on what looks to me to be a first class build.
Also, ty for the compliment, and yes the build is amazing =P
