The TP you spend on using Haste Samba can be somewhat recovered by the fact you are not losing TP/hit for having the 5% DW, because instead it is 5% Haste.
Said it when I first woke up so probably didn't sound as good to everyone else as it did to me.
Doesn't work that way.

The TP vs time ratio gets really good past 450 and under 200 delay. This while you do get "less tp" per hit, you get more hits in and thus greater TP gain. /DNC Haste Samba is +5% haste not 10% that DNC gets (merits).

Going from 20DW to 30DW is 14.28% increase in DPS. It would take well over 50% haste before that 5% would be worth more then what DWIII would give you. The absolute biggest kick in the nuts is that your forced to use Enspell II's to get the effect of haste samba on your off hand hit. /DNC is about giving party members more damage at the expense of your own.
