Moment of Clarity
I’ld change my pets to Boar and Hyena. Boar is not only tougher and higher HP for using protect me with but his f2 will drop an environmental weapon that is an AOE fear, daze(2s, 900 or 600 range) or Stun(2s, 170 range) to synergize with your moment of clarity. His knockdown is also 3 seconds last I checked not 2.
As you have already provided for condition removal by trait double dipping is IMHO redundant. You need to be able to burst in your stun daze KD phase and I’ld go with QZ on demand instead.
I’ld probably test the build in both the power variant you have but also a condition crit bleed variant. And if your going for power control burst kill considering going flat bezerker might give your best result. Hit hard and kill em within your chained CC.
It’s probably worth playing around with and testing.

I’d be interested in seeing results, such as videos, regarding this idea.

I’m playing with a Remorseless/Moment of Clarity build using SB/GS and a Wolf and Hyena.
30 Marks/30 Skirmish/10 BM right now. It’s less focused on the daze extension and more on getting an interrupt.

Would it not be better using pets that daze and stun?
Black Widow Spider default stun is 2 sec
Pink Moa default daze is 2 sec

Widow isn’t available to all, is it? I need my Pink Moa, it seems.

you can take jungle spider instead, they share the same f2 skill, in fact every f2 skill from all hom pets are available on another pet of the same family.
this is also why black widow and white raven have lowered vitality, so players with hom pets dont get a too big advantage over others because they can stack black widows and jungle spiders f2 stuns without any disadvantage (same for raven + white ravens f2 burst) the other hom pets abilities werent considered so strong so their stats havent been lowered.
but does the 50% increased daze duration even work on pet skills? i would guess not, but cant test it right now
Only spider I have is the forest, but that’s cool to know. Thanks for the knowledge!
The way I’ve played with it I pretty much rely on Shortbow and GS 5 to get stuns, as the stun and extra attack bonus are pretty nice with Maul. I’ll have to play with the pets.

Been toying around with this aswell.
Another thing we have to think about is the attack following the stun/daze. You want that to be a hard hitter.
Also, do we know how it works? Say you use a shortbow; daze, and then pop QZ. Would it just be the first arrow? How ’bout Rapid Fire?
If this is to be traited for, we need to know what our follow-up should be.
(disclaimer: it might be bleedin’ obvious – and I’ve missed it. Blame it on the works christmas party last nite..)
If it’s like Signet of the Hunt and Opening Strike, I believe it’s only the first arrow, even on Rapid Fire.
With my Any Bow/GS build, I use the Daze as a chance to pop Swoop or Maul (I’ve seen math making a case for both, I prefer Maul under the logic that it has bleeds and while they’re dazed it won’t screw up my evade chain).
