Pip has a slightly higher Krait rune benchmark: • Krait Hybrid Soulbeast...
Rotation is same as the standard, only slight gear differences to accomdate the rune.

I wanted to upload a Mad King rune benchmark since it has been on par for quite a long time, and while it may seem slightly weaker it actually carries a huge amount of burst. Since this build is designed around burst, it only makes more sense to lean even more into that aspect.
The stances shared to allies contribute some amount of dps depending on how fast your party can hit the target, and will vary based on their type of build and skill. This is therefore only an estimate based on reasonable margins.
If you want less dependence on allies, the OS variant will have a bit lower theoretical damage, but you may find it to be more consistent.
This builds performs very well when there are adds around due to Rain of Spikes (F1) which aims for multiple targets, but you can make all these projectiles hit the boss with proper positioning. The power damage is about 40% which means it performs well on power-favored encounters like Vale Guardian.
Check out the gameplay guide on SnowCrows as well.
