In most situations, your SAM doesn't even need to throw up Third Eye/Seigan, /nin shadows, etc; they just bull right through the big targets with multiple Fudos while your stunners keep TP moves from seriously damaging them, meaning that they can go nuts with no fear of retribution besides auto attacks and the occasional missed stun, which in most cases your WHM can deal with quickly. With the DD Zerg/Stun mentality most EG has going for it now, SAM is unrivaled for that burst damage, and has no reason to hold back on it; the enmity cap does nothing for them, except make Overwhelm a little harder to position when mobs start pingponging due to multiple capped hate DDs. Even then they have more than enough damage to not worry about it.
    But the situation you describe seems more like an example of a well-organized strategy using high burst damage coupled with well-timed stuns. It doesn't seem like the abuse of a over-powered job to me.

    The enmity cap is still a factor because that's why you have to bring stuns in the first place. So the Samurai doesn't die from auto attacks in the aftermath of a nasty TP move. So I don't see any problem with this.
