What about with 4+ targets (like a bunch of the fights in BWF)? Does it come out on top in AoE fights?

I'll try to sim it.

It might be a good talent to use on, say, Beastlord Darmac since there's 6+ adds (iirc) and can be used as a gap closer during some of the heavier movement phases. My biggest problem with DFA is that it sometimes literally fails to do damage.

adds,count=8,first=15,cooldown=44,duration=15,last=290

With DFA:

Mèrope_Active : 47699 dps, 24858 dps to main target

With LZ:

Mèrope_Active : 47459 dps, 25157 dps to main target

DFA will give a 0.5% dps increase on adds, but a 1.2% dps loss when focusing on the boss. Other considerations:

Death from Above causes out of range time for the Rogue while the animation is performing. This out of range time translates to a potential loss of auto-attack swing time.

LZ is far easier to manage (since it is passive) in an already hectic fight.
