Level 24 Master choice help...

Here I am staring at my level 24 choices going hmmm.

Ruled out Shanghai right away since it offers the least DPS increase but that leaves the other 3.

Unfriendly Reminder is the best DPS option, given we have enough ways to get around back at 24 to do it every 30s. But this isn't a paper world and I know from time to time the game tells me I'm not far enough behind the MOB to launch this CA. Rare but it happens.

Flamboyant Swathe is slightly better DPS wise as long as there are 3 MOBs and none miss. 4+ it pulls ahead but I can't solo 4+ MOBs :p Add that I don't use AOE every fight thanks to the large number of roaming MOBs in EoF that it really becomes an 'add' hail mary skill more often than not.

The real surprise was Undercut, I don't use it now but if I did and I spammed it every 10s the increase alone provides just slighly less DPS increase than Unfriendly without positional reqs. Twice if you consider I don't use it now.

At least that's how it looks on paper.

I went the AOE route at 14 and have no regrets but that was on a 30s timer and frankly from 14 to 24 outside of Orc and Gnoll 3 man groups I've probably only used it here and there. Guess it comes down to the same question I had at 14. Better to improve a skill used in hard fights or one that helps every fight. Death is pretty painless and infrequent so far so I wonder if I'm better off increasing my XP/HR instead of worrying about my Debt/HR SMILEY

Thoughts?
