of course you use a clicky in between
how much you regen doesn't matter, its perfectly fine to canni faster then torpor heals, it frees up cast time which is huge
try it when solo shm at a raid or something

Allright, I went ahead and tried alternating. The wife's Shaman (Lendia) has 3154 mana, no fungi tunic but had regrowth and other standard selfbuffs (stamina, focus, etc) on. Using Torpor and Canni4 alone, starting from full HP zero mana I was able to regenerate to full mana and near full health (> 90%) in 3 minutes 18 seconds. When I alternated between Canni3 and Canni4 it took me 3 min 37 seconds to do the same thing. In either case my spellcasting uptime was effectively 100%. In neither case could I canni significantly faster than Torpor heals.
Doing the same thing using only CanniIII, it took me 5 minutes 18 seconds to reach full mana and near full health. This could be improved upon somewhat (I got some "spell recovery not met" messages), but even with optimum timing it would be very much slower than using either above method.
To be frank I was surprised the alternating method kept up as well as it did, being only about a third of a minute slower to full/full. As it stands, alternating Cannibalize spells amounted to doing significantly more work for somewhat less return, and it sacrifices an additional spell gem slot, too. Anyhow, if you feel like I'm doing something incorrectly or mistaking what you're trying to say, let me know. I'm always out to learn new ways of doing stuff. Within my present knowledge any play style, canni4 seems to replace all previous canni spells in all situations.
