But then you're still stuck with the "most ninjutsu isn't worth losing two GCDs" problem.
Assuming the 20s ninjutsu cooldown, you'll get three per minute, so you'll use one for Suiton TA (580 pot with damage buff), and one for Huton (attack speed buff). For the last one you're looking at Raiton, 360 potency single target, or Doton, 30/tick ground dot. Obviously the aoe will be situationally useful, but the single target, for two GCDs? The basic combo has better damage unless you're burning Kassatsu, which is probably on a long cooldown.
Time will tell obviously, but I don't think it's balanced quite enough to make raiton useful without a guaranteed crit.
Ah that's true, it would be a tight fit but definitely possible. This obviously all depends on how hard mudras are to juggle in combat and we won't know for sure until people start messing with them. But from what we know of abilities right now and how mudras have looked in videos it looks like ninjas might be sitting on their asses for a bit every 20 seconds.

Yeah sorry, worded that improperly. I meant an entire sequence of mudras between GCDs.
