    So, we're expected to believe that replacing a 150 potency, 2.5 second cast costing a lot of MP with a 220 potency, instant cast costing no MP is somehow not a DPS gain?

    I know I'm not a BLM, but there are very, very few cases where pushing the shiny button that gives you more damage at less cost is a bad thing.

    You. . .you said it's not a DPS increase, even though it clearly is. The implication is that you wouldn't use it, because it's not a DPS increase. You also still haven't explained how it could possibly not be a DPS increase, aside from the (I thought) well-known bit about not waiting between casts to see if it proc'd.
