Todays edition of The Queue should be read while playing Boom Boom Pow in the background. It's completely irrelevant to WoW or anything discussed today, but I haven't been able to stop playing the song for about a week now and it's really starting to drive me crazy. If I can't stop listening to it, I'll just make other people listen to it. Schadenfreude is just as good as a cure.
Obviously, you want to get through that third phase as fast as possible. In this case, you want to save your cooldowns for the third phase. When KT's helper bugs come out, blow all your tricks -- get through the phase as fast as possible. If you had used your CDs earlier in the fight, then you don't have that extra juice to get through the helper-phase that much faster.
I mentioned earlier that even for "early and often" fights, there's a reason to hold a few seconds for your DPS cooldown. That reason is a cooldown itself -- Heroism. (Or, of course, Bloodlust.) This buff was the subject of much angst, back during the Sunwell Plateau days. The buff was so powerful that you wanted to have many uses of it on tap, causing some weird situations with cycling Shaman players in and out of the raid. Since then, it's been nerfed a few times. Now, significantly, you get the Exhaustion (or Sated) debuff after being affected by Heroism, keeping you from getting it again for ten minutes.
