Well, I use I believe it's spin 2 I use first (it can stick a dizzy on the npc) depending on the mob I am fighting. If I land that dizzy I do a sweep2 for knockdown then switch to hit3 to finish them off. I am also at the speed cap so this goes very quickly. If I am surrounded by a bunch of npc's I normally will just spin 2 a few times then throw a sweep2 in for good measure and hope to knock a few down and maybe they have that dizzy stuck on them. There are some mob's I will not even bother trying to knockdown anymore like nightsister protectors/spellweavers, they just dont get knocked down enough. If I get a highham mob like a protector alone I will intimidate, actionhit1, actionhit2, then leghit3's until dead.

VS one: I use area2 twice, sweep2, area2 twice then polearm 3 then area2 spammed( I only use pole 3 if I had not already knocked him down)
VS multiple:I use area2 twice, sweep2, then spam area2 if they haven't died and get back up I repeat.
I don't use stun2 or spinattack2 as area2 does the job of both and I only use pole3 on boss mobs as it inflicts the most damage and boss mobs are harder to kd, pole3 only helps opponents back to their feet i'm afraid.

Do not, I repeat: DO NOT DO THIS!
Hit 3 has a built in posture change, so if you Dizzy/KD a NPC and you use Hit 3, they will stand right back up. This is a known problem in the game, and the dev's are not planning on touching it until the combat balance.
Stick to Hit 2 when you have a Dizzy/KD on something.
