If you turn off Tidal Forces and remove (or turn off) the Chance for Build Up, you'll see that your accuracy on Dehydrate is quite bad.

I would say you should replace the Chance for Build Up (very unreliable) with an Acc or Acc/End.

 

Otherwise, it looks perfectly reasonable to me.

[SableShrike]

May just be my preference, but I found I only needed Bolt and Dehydrate for singletarget.  Singletarget isn’t Water’s forte, and even optimally using Jet doesn’t fix that.

 

The bigger problem I had with Jet was that it would burn my Tidal stacks if I wasn’t paying attention.  Slotted for damage, Dehydrate hits for just a bit less than Jet and adds a lot of sustain with just the Tidal buff.  Don’t need to slot for healing unless you have the free slots.

 

Water Burst is a good leveler, but I dropped it for Steam Spray and haven’t missed it.  Spray is a builder for Dehydrate and Geyser and hits like a truck.  You can hit ten targets easily, and so it makes a nasty combo with Geyser.  Cones are usually really good on Sentinels due to our ability to thrive in the midrange.

Well, assuming a completely procced out Dehydrate, and a Water Jet slotted with Apocalypse, Dehydrate isn't going to do the same amount of damage as Jet. Then factor in that Jet will have a 1 second cast time, followed by a 1.43s cast time, that's twice the damage of Dehydrate in 2.43 seconds.

 

Looking at 448.18 x 2 in 2.43, or 470.25 in 1.87. This is assuming all procs go off on both attacks. 368.88 DPA vs 251.47 DPA. Water Jet is your preferred "burn" for Tidal Power in a single target situation. I'm usually more worried about wasting my TP on a Dehydrate.
