Used to play phoenixes a ton (I'm master). I switched to prism bust builds because everyone blindly goes robo these days, and I get free wins. I can't look at replays right now, and can't supply my own, I will later when I get home. Basically few tricks I learned:
1) 3 phoenix + robo behind is very powerful for expanding, and you get that obs in time for even fast DT's.
2) 5 phoenix + 3-gate ramp bust can work vs most robo builds.
3) Get obs speed - 2-3 mid-late game phoenixes with an obs are best counter-intelligence in game.
4) Don't try to kill colossi with phoenixes - rarely works.
5) Forget probes - kill sentries! -100 gas and an open ramp inviting you to walk in with that powerful 3-gate army.
6) If opp responds with forge, you kind of need to get a forge of your own. It's not only for cannons, you will soon be battling 1-1-1 army, or maybe even 2-0.
Disclaimer - I played greediest phoenixes possible - skipping sentry, and sometimes even stalker, off 1 gate.
