I disagree with avoiding tab targeting after soul burn + SOC (on big pulls). If you happen to pick a target that isn't getting enough incidental damage to set off the normal SoC's in the time it takes to cast your next one, you're wasting the GCD's. Better to chain cast the SoC's with guaranteed explosions than to overwrite one that didn't explode.

I consider the damage the normal Corruptions are doing on targets, for whatever period of time it's on them (before it might get overwritten with a normal SoC), to be bonus damage... not the priority.

Optimally, you'd target one target that is guaranteed to set off your SoC's before the next one lands. if you can do that.. great. if you can't, tab + cast, repeat.
