CPM = median casts per minute across the sampled top kills. If you're far below on a core ability, that's usually the first thing to fix.

First ~12 casts after the pull starts, taken from actual top key runs: the AoE opener is the first pack of the run, the single-target opener is the first boss. Trinkets and racials vary by setup; the skill order is what to copy.

The Patch 12.1 Omnium Folio has five rune rows. This is what the sampled top logs actually run in each row, read from the runes' own damage, healing and buff traces. Bold = most picked. Rows 1 and 5 are procs, so their share is inferred from the traces they leave.

Row	Raid	Mythic+
Row 1	Rune of Unleashed Fire 100%	Rune of Unleashed Fire 98% Rune of Void-Touched Orbs 2%
Row 2	Rune of Self-Mending 56% Rune of Void-Tainted Shell 24% Rune of Lynxlike Reflexes 18%	Rune of Self-Mending 58% Rune of Void-Tainted Shell 22% Rune of Lynxlike Reflexes 20%
Row 3	Rune of Lingering 100%	Rune of Lingering 100%
Row 4	Rune of Burning Haste 50% Rune of Critical Power 44% Rune of the Versatile Warrior 6%	Rune of Burning Haste 42% Rune of Critical Power 35% Rune of the Versatile Warrior 12% Rune of Masterful Cunning 10%
Row 5	Rune of Overload 94% Rune of Echoes 6%	Rune of Overload 95% Rune of Echoes 5%

The GearInsight addon shows the same table next to your own current runes and can switch every row to the recommended one in one click.

Keybinds are personal — this is not a layout to copy wholesale. What it does say is which abilities you press most, measured from the same top parses above: the more often an ability is cast, the less effort its key should take. Interrupts, defensives and movement are deliberately left out; they barely register in cast data yet must always be within reach, so choose those yourself.

Rows marked Passive are not pressed at all — they fire on their own (auto-attacks, procs) and get no key, even though they top the casts-per-minute table.
