GWF Buff/Debuff Questions

I'd like to make sure that I understand how the more important buffs and debuffs work for a Swordmaster Destroyer GWF. This is what I think is going on plus some questions where I haven't been able to find any information. Corrections and/or answers to the questions would be greatly appreciated.
Destroyer Feature (up to 3 stacks)
trigger: hitting more than 3 enemies with a single attack
effect: +4% damage per stack at Rank 3
How long does each stack last?
Focused Destroyer Feat (enhancement of Destroyer feature)
trigger: at Rank 5, 25% chance to grant a Destroyer stack when hitting any number of targets
effect: at Rank 5, +3.5% damage per stack
Does this mean that with the Focused Destroyer Feat, 3 stacks of Destroyer total to +22.5% damage?
Destroyer’s Purpose Feat (up to 20 stacks)
trigger: dealing damage while Unstoppable
effect: each stack increases damage by 2% for 25 seconds
Onslaught from Avatar of War armor set (on/off)
trigger: 3 hits with an encounter power
effect: +1350 Recovery and Power for 10 seconds
Weapon Master Feature (up to 5 stacks at Rank 3)
trigger: any hit
effect: +1.5% to critical hit chance for each stack
How long does each stack last?
Weapon Master’s Strike At-Will
trigger: itself
effect: “reduces Damage Resistance against your At-Wills” for 4 seconds at Rank 3
How much does it decrease Damage Resistance, and does it have any effect if you’re already at 24% armor penetration?

iam deduced the time of bonus for the daily, ignoring the casting/animation. bad mistake
Because Battle Fury is not really strong for what it gives you.
Daring Shout is different. It gives you DR, lets you mark everything around you at the start of combat. Without Threatening Rush only an IBS execution will let you mark things as SM.
Practical:
Destroyer feated: This is pretty fast up if you use any AoE At-Will nothing to look after.
Destroyers Purpose: Only stacks through Unstoppable. Easy done with At-Will spam or Spinning Strike in Unstoppable. Try to keep this up as long as possible.
AoW: Don't worry about this, easily 90%+ uptime.
Weapon Master: Easily stacks like Destroyer.
Destroyers Purpose is the biggest buff and therefore you should be patient about it e.g. use Dailies like Crescendo or Encounters like IBS preferably at 10 Stacks.
