Or if Saber Dance is up and I don't want to click it off to Waltz myself.

In no way is Haste Samba merits a waste. Step Accuracy is. If you miss Steps, add more ACC to your macro. It's as simple as that.
As DNC/WHM, I can cast haste on myself and still use Drain Samba, if I run low on MP, (gogo ethereal) I can use Aspir Samba (mob permitting of course)
No, I don't think Step Acc is the end-all-be-all for DNC merits. However what i don't need in ACC I make up for with more ATK, DEX, STR or haste% even.
If you don't like it, noone said you had to do it my way. I am NOT trying to tell ANYONE how to play.
I was explaining my reasoning, nothing more.
