Keep up the good work sir.
I can see why they did the rates they did from a math stand point:

Compare /DNC:

Violent Flourish 20s = 3 per min and Steps @ 15s = 4 per min to give a total of 7 chace to proc each min

To /NIN and elemental spells and NO HASTE/FASTCAST:

Ichi = 30 second recast 4 second cast for 6 elemental Ninjutse.

Total: 12 per min

Add in Kurayami/Dokumori/Hoji

You've capped out at 15 per min at 4 second cast times if you could instantly cast the next spell. So in a perfect world /NIN has 2x or 100% more chances to stagger in the same time frame.

When you compare to say BRD main with 2 second cast time on Threnody and 24 second recast (NO HASTE/FASTCAST) When you add in Requiem and other BRD spells BRD has basically 30 chances per min to stagger. At a 5% rate a single BRD should on average stagger every 40 seconds.

Now that is in a perfect world with casting as soon as you can and not having to do other stuff. The reality is a bit different. The actual number of spells you can get off and coupled with mages needed to deal with other things and the lower kill speed basically cancels out any advantage they have for hitting the staggers.
