While the 4-piece bonus may make things more complex, it can also simplify them in other ways:

Right now, how often do you have to delay casting a Mind Blast because you have no orbs and your Empowered Shadows is about to run out? If you have to wait 6 secs until you can cast MB again, you may find yourself also waiting to cast DoTs, or casting them at reduced strength while you try to get a shadow orb. If that wait goes from 6 secs to 3, you don't fear casting that Mind Blast because you know that you will have one ready when the orb triggers, so that's one piece of complexity that may end up removed by this bonus.

I think we may end up with a rotation that alternates MB and MF while recasting DoTs in between whenever necessary.
