Well you locate the optic so the brass doesn't hit it. If you put it forward of the forward regular scope ring it'll be out of the way anyway.
Holosight on top of scope on AR? yes/no?

Why not use BUIS with a 1x, or 2x tactical scope rather than another optic that can fail? Just curious.

To the OP, not just yes, but hell yes. As soon as I can afford it. The sight off on an angle is kida goofy though. Right now I just have an EoTech, no magnification. When I get the funds, I plan on getting a 3x ACOG with the RMR 0x red dot on top. Used one at a carbine class courtesy of some fine gentlemen from Trijicon, and I fell in love. With the sight. Not...er...nevermind.

noob, take a look at the Larue LT-724 mount. If you have any room at all on the upper receiver, it is small enough to mount on the front of the upper receiver alongside a scope and give you a red dot with just a slight cant of the rifle.
I did a review of my Aimpoint T1 and TA11 combination here:

I'd tried the Trijicon TA31 ACOG with a Docter mounted on top. I thought I was going to love it; but the red dot just sat way too high for my tastes. Because of all the time I had with the ACOG, under stress, I would drive to the ACOG instead of the red dot (and close in shooting for time means I was always on the wrong sight). With the off-angle mount, I keep the same cheekweld I use with irons and scopes and just cant the rifle left a bit. My weak eye lets me see "through" the TA11, so it is like having a perfectly unobstructed field of view.
So far the only downside is that when using the suppressor, my face is right behind the ejection port and I get a big faceful of gas with every shot while it is canted. As problems go though, it is a minor one. Just reminds me of the MP5SD every time I pull the trigger
