The problem is you are ALWAYS in a "real game situation". Because of this, the BoH click takes time to cast (stop previous song, click BoH, start next song).

When solo-DoTTing: 5 song twist of fear/DoT/DoT/DoT/snare
When melee-ing (group): 4 song twist, typically mana/haste(str)/resist(DS)/slow(snare,-AC)
On raids: 3 song twist of mana/resist/resist

When I'm charming, its very typical for me to get a full 4-song twist + 1 song, then I start charm and the mob is uncharmed for <1.5sec.

I guess I could get used to doing a 5-song twist in groups, but I typically don't have the spare spell slot for a worthwhile 5th song (only have 8!), so I don't sweat it. Also, I'm usually charming anyways with the way I pull (more efficient to pull 2 and charm 1 then it is to solo pull).
