A SMN buffing the party will cause the party to do more damage and take less. Not to mention the support the the SMN gives will just generall help the party run smoother. Sure your SMN would parse higher but the overall differnce would be negligible if any at all. This of course is assuming we're fighting a monster that is weak enough to allow a SMN to melee safely on.
