And here we have my drain life is much harder to play than sbolt affliction. You should never interrupt a cast to refresh a dot, and you should never be doing nothing.

To fill both of these requirements you should recast dots after your shadowbolt cast finishes. You can use the spell queue system here to prevent any dead time.

However with drain life you have to interrupt drain life after a tick. You can't use the spell queue system, you will have dead time unless you play it perfectly.

Thus the weird nature of channeled spells, and the lack of most players in understanding them.
