Not sure if I would be using champion at that level still. Unity rank 1 is 6% skill modifier and champion is 10. I'm assuming that they don't stack even though they look like they do on Lucy. Probably would have to do parsing to determine if the extra 4% skill modifier is worth 1500 mana, a spell slot and all the aggravation that goes with a short term buff with a long recast. I would think that you'd get more bang for the buck using an extra DD. There was a post on here about champion/unity a while back.

I'd also add an alchemy section. The aptly named regeneration awareness potions add duration to buffs including HoT's and panther type buffs. For buffs like unity, the extra duration is nice. For HoTs and panther, you get an extra tic (search for a post about this that describes how low/cheap of a potion you can get away with under focus degradation.) It does take a buff slot but I think the duration of the potion is something like 4-5 hours. The tonic of resonant x potions add a DD proc buff that goes off when you use DD spells. It's not a lot but mages/wizards like them. I guess if you want to "burn" you would use poison if you had a buff slot available. I don't know if rains trigger it too. The potions aren't cheap to make but (at least on my server) you can usually buy the dropped components in the bazaar for cheap.
