I doubt anything will be better than Twilight head/body for those slots.

At lvl 99 vs lvl 101 Bukhis, I have Reqs tied with CdC. Changing the player level to 95 to simulate a higher def/level corrected mob, CdC wins handily. However even with the level penalty, Reqs should still easily outdo Vorpal.
This doesn't make sense, your previous entry's had SD > DB due to its -20% penalty even though DB could crit. Not only does CDC crit but Req has a ridiculous -20% attack penalty on it.

Doing Dynamis and using both, I can say without any reservation that CDC > Req every time. CDC's are averaging more then twice what Req is vs DC Leach's (no acid mist on) in Dyna Tav (somewhere around 580 ~ 600 defense). Outside of the ridiculous defense of Dynamis mobs I have CDC doing 1.5~2x more then Req on Voidwatch's, even at 750~850 attack (Meat + Stalwarts on BLU/WAR with zerk up sometimes).

Even using Dia III (when my partner is BLU/DNC so I can go RDM/DNC) to lower the mobs to /check low evasion @650 attack CDC is still crushing Req in damage. And this is on BLU / RDM who both have a ton of MND gear, hell RDM has retarded amounts of MND gear.

4.25 fTP 60% DEX (higher dDex / acc) +15% crit @100
vs
5.0 fTP (looks like a 5 hit but could be a 4) 100% MND no crits -20% attack.

If your having capping or near capping attack vs something without level correction then it's possible for Req to be better, but that's not a realistic scenario at all. PLD / BLU / RDM won't be capping attack on anything that you'd be concerned about your damage on, and once LCF of 5 or more levels sets in Req's damage goes down the toilet.

Did you add +0.2 fTP to each hit of Req on accident?
