Gear

On (the default): every build plays the rotation its search settled on, long cooldowns included.

Off: the same builds, gear and talents simulated again with every cooldown of 10 minutes or more taken out of their rotations. Today that is Recklessness only, so the warriors move and every other spec is unchanged; a row that lost a cooldown is marked.
