Need help with the BM opener \ rotation

Hey guys, im just starting to learn BM.

Actually i keep reading weird stuff in both icy-veins and wowhead, they say that you should open with frenzy, but in the same time they say that murders of crows is top priority.

Can you guys tell me what is the real opener\rotation with a murder of crows? In both AOE and single target.

Actually i am doing in ST

aspect of the wild > Bestial wrath > Barbed shot > kill command > Murder of crows > Chimaera shot in single target

And in AOE

aspect of the wild > Bestial wrath > Barbed shot > Multi-shot > kill command > Chimaera shot > murder of crow

Thanks a lot.

If you get your hands on an azerite piece with the Primal Instincts trait your opener will be different.

Anyways

Normally your opener might look something like this:
Aspect of the Wild(Pre-casted by a few seconds or so before pull)
Bestial Wrath(Just before pull)
Barbed Shot
A Murder of Crows(if you have the talent)
Kill Command
Chimaera Shot(if you have the talent)
Cobra Shot x2
Barbed Shot(2nd stack)
Kill Command
Cobra Shot x2
Kill Command
Barbed Shot(3rd stack)
Chimaera Shot

After this, just repeat casts on Kill Command whenever possible, keep Frenzy up on your pet, and use other stuff whenever you got time.

IF you have a Primal Instincts trait on an azerite-piece your opener changes to something like this:
Bestial Wrath(Pre-casted by 1.5-2.0 sec before pull)
Barbed Shot
Aspect of the Wild
Barbed Shot(2nd stack)
A Murder of Crows
Kill Command
Chimaera Shot
Cobra Shot x2
Barbed Shot(3rd stack)
Kill Command
Cobra Shot x2
Chimaera Shot
Kill Command

and repeat…(prio on keeping Frenzy up while getting as many uses on Kill Command as possible).

Might vary a little depending on your stats/haste etc. But this is how I usually do it when on Single Target fights.

I should add though that what matters the most in general with openers is whether or not you use your major CDs or not(Aspect + Bestial Wrath). Especially Aspect of the Wild can vary a lot from fight to fight depending on when you want it for the highest burst potential(for prio targets and so on).
In some fight you want to delay using Aspect simply due to an add spawn or a particular damage prio phase in the encounter.
