OK, assuming cube centered I'd not hit, because on a dance you lose your market by a mile. After the hit, only missing 4s (9 numbers) leave a reasonably efficient cube. On the other hand 6/5 6/3 looks too feeble, three points to clear, no board, and no pressure on opponent, opp can leave the blot in the outfield, too difficult to come home safely. So I'd play 11/8 3/2 and if missed expect to have a quite reasonable cube now or next turn. I'd have spares, time to wait for a double, and a threat against the blot (build board, hit).

With the cube already turned I think I'd slash away with 13/12* 11/8 because the dancing scenarios have increased a lot in value.
