Post Red Paladin Bossing

So I was wondering if anyone knew the most effective way to boss as a paladin post red. it seems from the videos ive watched that people alternate between holy and lightning charge and just spam those two, but blast also gets a boost from having 5 charges up. would it be best to get 5 charges and spam blast for 45 seconds and then rinse and repeat, just solely spam blast, or just alternate between holy and lightning?

tlr Whats the best way to boss with a paladin post red?

For 1v1:
Alternate Lightning + Holy until 5 Charge Stacks
Cast Blast (consumes 5 stacks and gains Blast buff)
Alternate again to gain the 5 stacks back so you now have both buffs
Cast Blast until the remainder of Blast's buff, then repeat this.

For mobbing:
Stack up 5 Charges
Cast Blast to get it's buff
Stack up 5 Charges again
Cast Lightning first for the monster debuff (gives +20% damage on Holy)
Attack with Holy until the remainder of Lightning's debuff or until the monster is dead.

If I remember correctly, using blast drains the 5 charges. That said my post RED bossing strategy (as far as damage goes) is as follows:
Step1: Lightning > Holy > Lightning > Holy > Lightning (or inverted)
Step2: Blast (eats 5 charges)
Step3: <Repeat step 1>
Step4: Blast for remainder of buff

It still remains to be seen if that will actually yield the most effective dpm though. Just going to wait for RED and see the damage and play it by ear then.
