I'm having a hard time deciding if I should roll off the CDR or the RCR for +DMG. I'm guessing roll off the CDR. I'm currently using the cookie cutter Firebird build. I'm also thinking of the weapons use when patch 2.2.0 is released. Thanks for your help.
Well it depends. If you're going to use this only with firebird - rcr is basically useless, reroll it to dmg. BUT this weapon is probably going to be bis with tal rasha, too. The best build for tal rasha I've seen up till now uses no skills with long cd, so cdr is useless in it. Rcr on the other hand makes you use less resource so you have a higher dmg bonus from focus/restraint set. The difference is not big (f.e. energy twister costs 35, it will cost 31.5, so as long as you are regenerating arcane power, you are 3.5 ap behind. with 100 ap it's 3.5% of your resource, which means 5 of the 150 bonus. 5/250 = 2%), but it is there. It's even less when you have a larger AP pool, AP regen, or more sources of rcr, but it exists. This actually is correct for firebird as well if you're gonna use focus/restraint with it (even more as blizzard is cast often and it costs a lot of ap). Tldr: as long as you're not at full resource in tal rasha, this rcr gives you a little damage boost compared to cdr. My opinion: I would wait till the patch hits to see if anything is changed and what build you are going to run. If you need this weapon right now, reroll rcr to 10% dmg. If not - wait.

Thank you, I greatly appreciate your input.
