you grabed a very small portion of the log is that from a sim? or wow log of a ‘player’?

look at:
raidbots com/simbot/report/fWr3C9oUM2NHqMd62d9VZf/simc

It does give priority to trinkets and potions, but not over what skill should be first than another, or hey if one cd is ready 'wait for the other skill" so you can do the combo.
in this case the first time it use eye beam it looks like is going for combo but drinks a potion in between. and after first meta throws glaives.

if you see on “Sample Sequence Table” and just search for essence break, you would assume that will have.

  1. eyebeam before
  2. vengfull retreat
  3. then Essence break
  4. deathsweep or annihilation (depending whas not on CD)

part of the log cant all =(

as you can see essence_break with no eyebeam before (or some skills before) and not vengfull retreat close. Essence combo are several skills chain, but let’s just go to the most basic one,
eyebeam, empower dance blade (deathsweap) and chaos strike becomes, anhiilation.

why the sim would do eye beam, glaives, sigil of flames wasting haste window? for empowered skills?

if any one would like to review the log, i am open to hear it =)
