Broad Sword attack chain

So I was wondering what the highest (single target) DPS for Broadsword is (assuming high amounts of global recharge). And then, what's the most realistic attack chain? By that, I mean a moderate amount of global recharge (let's say 20-30% with Hasten cycling). I'm pretty terrible at calculating DPS and such, so any answers are greatly appreciated =]

Now the most realistic attack chain are we talking with or without parry?
Ah, sorry, should've mentioned that. I meant to put in "with Parry," but I didn't like my wording so I deleted it and posted without retyping that. My bad xD

My secondary is Willpower, so Parry is pretty valuable to me when fighting things like AVs and such =]

Ok with Parry the best would be HS>Hack>DE>Parry

Now the slower one would be

HS>Parry>DE>Hack>Parry
I run this on my BS/Wp and I don't have Hasten. It doesn't take a lot of recharge at all.

I think those are the best but if not someone should come along.

At high (re: 172%) +recharge: HS>Hack>Dis>Parry
At moderate (re: 60%) +recharge: HS>Hack>Parry>Slash>Dis>Hack>Parry>Slash

Ok just to look at the 2 chains I did this more for me but I will post it to show you.

ACT for BS attacks
Hack 1.584
Slash 1.584
Parry 1.584
Disembowel 1.98
HS 2.508


HS>Hack>Parry>Slash>Dis>Hack>Parry>Slash

HS need to rechrage 11.454
(14/11.454)-1=23%
Hack need to rechrage in 5.148
(8/5.148)-1=55%
Parry need to rechrage in 5.148
0%
Dis need to rechrage in 12.012
0%
slash need to rechrage in 5.148
0%

You can slot 60% in your attack with just IO. so you don't need any global recharge at all for that chain.

Now to show how much this one needs.

HS>Parry>DE>Hack>Parry

HS needs to recharge in 6.732
(14/6.732)-1=108%
Parry need to recharge in 2.508
(3/2.508)-1=20%
Hack needs to recharge in 7.653
(8/7.653)-1=5%
DE needs to recharge in 7.26
(10/7.26)-1=38%

Again if you can slot 60% easy so that would be only 48% global recharge to run this chain.
