This is gonna be a bit of a work in progress, just to get something out quick for people testing on the PTS. It's also only covering the ST rotation so far. When this goes live maybe I'll clean it up a bit.
The best way to play riftblade is to use a priority rotation for the builders with precision strikes as mastery. The priority should look like this:
1. Frost Strike
This needs to be up at all times. Make sure to refresh it before it falls off, because Frost Strike affects itself.
2. Rift Strike
You have to use this every time it cools down because it deals so much damage. You never want to use Rift Strike without frost strike up. It's possible to end up in a situation where you need to use Frost Strike (FS) in the same global cooldown as Rift Strike (RS). You need to see this coming so that you can reapply Frost Strike 1 GCD earlier than normal and still be able to use RS on cooldown.
3. Dire Corruption
30 sec cooldown, 36 duration. You could stick it in a macro and not worry about it too much or just reapply it when it ends. Either way this deals a lot of damage for the 1 GCD it costs to apply it.
4/5 Flame spear/Soul Sickness
Reapply when it ends as soon as you dont have anything more important to do
6 Searing Strike
main spam ability
For finishers it's better to use a set rotation. This is a 1 minute rotation on repeat. Hopefully this picture will do a decent job explaining it:

Basicly 3x Fiery Burst per minute, there will be one small gap where it falls off and the other moments you have to clip it at the right times. Rift burst is always at the same spot in the rotation to ensure you can always use it as soon as it comes off cooldown.
It’s completely possible there’s a better finisher rotation than this but this is the best I got so far. Keep in mind that using 1 point icy bursts is not a dps loss, 3x 1 point IB is the same as 1x 3 point IB.
