Great read btw. I'm just new to Marauder. Trying to take a break from my Sorc.

That is indeed the correct priority. I use charge over Obliterate, but if Charge is off CD I'd use Obliterate to still gain the auto crit. Obliterate hits real hard as well. I don't always use it for catching up, but it's quite useful for doing so.
My standard rotation/priority is Charge/Obliterate, Crush/Choke, Smash (usually try to center myself between enemies for multiple hits), Deadly throw (If being healed or no healing debuff up), Battering assault, and rinse and repeat after that really. I sneak in some melee and vicious slashes in between CDs. Force Crush and Obliterate have nice CDs, so sometimes you can just Crush, Obliterate, and Smash. Crush gives you 6 ticks, so you can sometimes sneak in 1-2 if you time the Obliterate right (Not a huge deal). The reason for Crush first is because it does a nice dot, slow and it "explodes" at the end. It's nice to have a dot up following an Obliterate (Nice burst damage.) ShockeWave and the Smash Auto crit both have a fair up-time so you don't have to immediately Smash, due to KnockBacks and what ever else you might face. Happy Republic hunting!
