Are they all BHs?
Suppose it wouldn't matter as much, but if they are any prof with the ability to spec in increasing the amount of critical hits, then you can do this.
It's been noted, tested, and confirmed that if you use manual aim you get an increase of 25% to your critical hit potential. Add on top of that improv ambush(10), man hunter(5).... you end up with a 45% chance to crit....
Now here comes the beautiful part. The blaster fist has a dot that goes off for 3 tics at max damage/2 (depends on armor) every single time you critical hit you have a chance to place this dot. Now the cybershock arm (amost other attacks whom's effect is based on whether they do damage or not) has a chance to proc with every "hit". That includes every tic from the blaster fist, every tic from the BH's net trap, every elemental crit, and every weapon crit.
Understand what i'm saying? Here's another example. I've been doing this with my jedi for weeks now. I picked up choke and i'm using an acid crystal in my saber (b'nars). I also picked the light force skill granting a chance to do a double hit, on top of the elder robe proc, and the bio bracer (melee proc bracer). All i do is run a macro that does spark(lowest level lighting, cost is nothing and cool down is short) and saber throw (almost cost nothing) until i get that acid proc from the crystal (sometimes i use a nyms while closing in). At that point i unload with improv choke, the sweep attack, our basic single attack, spark/saber throw (if they have recharged). I get criticals on all of them, even the following tics from choke, so instead of doing maybe 500-800 damage a tic, i'm getting 1k-2k (in pve). Every tic/hit has a chance to proc the elder robe proc, the bracer proc, and the double hit skill. At max, if the acid debuff is 5sec long and i hit every 1sec normally, not including my 5(9 including chokes tics) cool down attacks (throw, lighting, sweep, single strike, choke which tics 4 times i believe)........ that adds up to 5 normal hits plus 9 from skills=14 hits in 5 seconds, iat the very best i can get a proc on each from all my proc item i have (bracer, robe, double strike) which adds up to............. 3x14=42 hits in 5 seconds.... at it's very best.
Now we know this doesn't happen, but if it happens by at least 50% that is still 21 hits in 5 seconds. All of which are criticals. My math might be off, the acid debuff might be only 3 seconds.... regardless, you can see where i'm getting at........ A bh with HIGH crit chance, alot of procs or dots will hit many times, trivial or not. Each chance has a chance to proc the shock arm, or any other proc for that matter...... The easiest way to test this and see is to get load up on proc items (arm/elder robe, double strike skill, braclet) then get an acid cristal. Invest in improv choke. Find a tough mob (sbd) and do normal hits till the acid proc goes off. Then use choke, sweep, single strike, and the macroed saber throw/spark. Watch them all be crits, and take not of when the flying text of those proc items go off. I have had a time when everything crit/proc at once doing so much damage i was able to kill the Droid guardian, solo in the time it takes for saber block to run it's course once.
Hopefully you didn't get bored reading all that... and perhaps you've gotten the idea. The only thing that hampers this is the immunity to certain procs, for that short period of time after they have gone off. Any questions post em here.... i urge you to go test this yourself. Easiest way to see is with a BH that has extended time on traps, gbf, melee shock arm, improv ambush, man hunter, and manual aim. Find a jedi master npc, drop a trap and use manual aim..... you'll get shock procs from a tic of you trap (both of them) as well as from tics of the gbf, any normal hits, any specials used, even a crit proc from the shock arm can start he gbf dot if the target isn't immune during that time.....
