IF IT IS INDEED that way, then fine, statics gonna static, etc.
All I'm saying is this is not going to be anywhere near intense enough for John Q. AF3+1 to feel left out, and in progressive farming content like this where you get one shot a day to make progress towards a larger goal (closest in FFXI right now is Dynamis but this looks further along the spectrum than that), getting your clear for the day out of the way so you don't lose it is WAY more important than getting it with an optimal group.
EDIT: Statics come in to play for getting boss kills with fewer saved buffs, and thus going for loot runs more often.
MOAR EDIT: on reflection, it's actually better to NOT static unless you're going for a boss run, because that way everyone in your group can get different buffs and stack them for the main event. Player A does HP dungeons, player B does Regain dungeons, player C does Refresh, etc., for the first three days with PuGs, and on day four you all get together for a boss run with six different level 3 buffs. If you'd staticed the whole time, day four would see you all with one level 3 buff or 3 level 1 buffs.
