Spiral Pattern for a Feature

I have a tube which I'm adding a pocket to the outside by removing some material. I then need to array that around the tube. However I need to offset each pocket along the length of the tube. I've attached the tube with one pocket (v2013) and a picture showing the pattern if the surface of the tube was unwraped.

 

I can not think of a simple means to doing this and there may not be, but some input would be great either way.

Thanks for the info. A curve driven pattern is exactly what I needed.
