Boss damage is a trigger. (Destiny)

I know that damage to the boss is a trigger for the next wave of adds. I think the idea is to take out the adds first and when you're ready for the next wave, damage the boss and continue the engagement. This is correct, right?

Yes, but remember blights will keep spawning adds (triggered as the old ones die) regardless of if you've put any damage onto the boss, so it's important to take those out if you're trying to clear adds, otherwise you're just spinning your wheels.
