I'm TK 1111 fighting a reasonably challenging creature, say CL 60. i'm buffed, etc.

I like to apply states cause I find if I can get all 4 to stick (blind, dizzy, intimidate, stun) that pretty much spells instadeath for anything. However, knockdowns only occur maybe 60% of the time for me, and oftentimes the creature just hops right back up.

Right now I am applying dizzy first and then KD, ina macro. Since it's macro'ed, i can't guarantee the dizzy has stuck when i KD. Should I instead absolutely get dizzy to stick and then KD separately?

Or is that really a big deal in PVE with high HAM creatures? If I apply all 4 states, I'm still doing somewhat significant HAM damage, the state effects last longer, and I can now swing away for all I'm worth.

Also, if I'm in the center of a mob, let's say 4 creatures, should I apply states to each individually and then spin, or target the strongest creature (which is what i do now), apply states, dizzy/kd, what-have-you, and then instead of UAH2 just use spinattack? this way, the most dangerous creature dies faster, and the other members of the mob at least receive some damage.
