it also prevents the huge issue of going in to crash, only to be hit by pig/stun, and find out you're unable to crash. most warriors can't really stand in front of empress with her using genesis, so i prefer bind->crash as a more "safe" method of getting the 40 seconds in.
We largely decided to go crash -> bind because it let the DS leave the orb skill (dark meta?) on without worrying about the passive attacks accidentally triggering DR. This was a HUGE pain when the glitch finally got fixed.
Pig/stun is occasionally an issue, but we run with a DrK and Pally so the odds of both getting pigged are pretty low since myself and the bish are pigs 95% of the time. One of my buff macros is now Pig 4 lyf. After we killed her a few times and really got the patterns down we just crash or bind first depending on convenience.
It's a small matter of preference, really either works if done properly.
