but i tried to use OFC in the middle rounds today, and found that i can't keep Spirit Stance after i spam OFC.
I don't think this is a problem, in 50 turns you can't recharge 210 OC anyway so toggling out SS actually let's you recharge OFC faster.
The ideal would be:
round x: OFC
round x+1: automatically out of spirit stance
round x+y (with y <=10): enable spirit stance
round x + 50: OFC again
then repeat
In my quick testing the damage loss of having SS off for <10 turns + 1 turn loss for enabling SS is may be less than waiting 20-30 turns more for OC to fully recharge.
(actually tested on a 97 rounds PFUDOR IW so it's not exactly the same as SG arenas but whatever)

so i just want to ask how does you guys use OFC in SG arena?
I don't use it since maging is faster (IMG:[

Speaking of 1H it's not vastly different since 0.85, vital strike it's now a pretty good solution for when there is only 1 or 2 SG, less OC cost and similar damage, the only drawback is that you must use it on stunned monsters, which means more micro-managing.
I think it's something that you need to test it out, it may depends on how fast you are at micro-managing and how long does it take to kill a SG.
The only think I would say it's mandatory it's to either have a rapier and inflict some PA or use imperil before hitting with OFC or Vital Strike, 3XPA applied more than double the damage, letting you, in some case, one-shot the SG (in case of konata from nearly full health, the others need to be weakened a bit first).
There are probably some video of me doing SG runs
here.
Note that I would now surely use vital strike with 1 SG and, possibly, with 2 SG (I would need to do, at least, 4-5 days of 1H to really be confident, and 1H is too fucking slow).

Another question: which deprecating spell do you use when facing SGs, and how do you use it?
Imperil if it makes you faster (depends on t/s, damage, etc etc).
