I don't mean to burst your bubble about Plaguebringer, but the likely 5% double attack on it probably isn't doing a whole lot for you compared to what other atmas can do.

If you have a true 5-hit and any sort of haste buff, it shouldn't be hard to make self SC's. Without any buffs at all, I can 2 step SC (Fudo+Fudo=Light) with just Meditate.
Giving up Razed Ruins is a huge loss of TP-phase damage. It's not only for jobs with critical weapon skills.
