For Open GCDs use the following Priority

Raise Dead if off CD
Hysteria if off CD
Dancing Rune weapon if off CD and you have hysteria up

Remember for Dancing rune that it gains all the buffs you ahve when you summon it, but doesnt benefit from any buffs you get after it is out, so pop any CDs you might have before using it.
