Baler, it really isn't worth debating.
From the shaman perspective if you're looking to slow a mob - malo first.
Following malo, you are equally likely to land malosini and slow. If it will take you 3 casts to land either of those you are looking at the following
Your way:
-Malo
-malosini fail
-malosini fail
-malosini land
-5th cast being your FIRST chance to land the slow - and still not guaranteed.
The shaman way:
-malo
-slow fail
-slow fail
-slow LANDS
-now the mob is slowed and you have all the time you need to land a stronger debuff and 7.5 minutes to refresh slow.
For this type of discussion, the only important factor is getting it slowed. For 99.9% of eq content - it's trivial once the slow is on board.
