I had a little too much time on my hands today and I was wondering about whether the following spells stacked:
Holy Strength
Formidable
This is the Triumph/Frost libram
My idea was this: You're on a boss, using SoV, and you proc the triumph one. You then switch to the Frost one until it is stacked and then switch each back out to maintain a 420str buff.
Possible? Or am I dumb as hell here. :/

I haven't tried swapping a libram since early BC. IMO too much work for what would be a slight benefit considering it might throw you off your rotation.

doesnt seem like a terrible idea, but i reiterate PG's point: too much work for too little benefit (it seems)

I think even if it did work, it would be a DPS loss. Keeping both buffs up is like a fifth of your global cooldowns.

I believe that there are 3rd party programs that you can run to automatically switch your librams, without the need of macro's or keeping track of the buffs. But you'll have to look into that yourself, as I'm not
that
interested =p. Just thought I'd bring it up, as it would be very helpful if you decide to pursue this.
There were mods to libram swap back in TBC, however in Wrath that has been fixed. Swapping a libram makes a hard 1.5 second GCD and resets your swing timer (so you may miss an autoattack). Ret has very few spare GCDs anyway if you somehow could swap libram to not lose an autoattack you still don't have a spare GCD to swap back.
