Which is more than what crit will get you.

If someone (and their garuda) gets a few extra critical hits, they will surpass the damage that 51 more DET would "consistently" produce.
Few extra critical hits? That's asking for a lot from 1%.

If I stand next to you on a dummy, and we sit there spamming ruin, the moment I get that extra critical hit I've done more damage than you.
Actually, no. The moment you get that Ruin crit, you've partially caught up to the +1 damage I've accrued over every attack thus far.

Focusing on DET "bets" that I will be insanely unlucky with crit procs and that it will take so much time for me to hit one that the slight few points of increased damage on the window edges will add up to hundreds of damage more than me before I get one.
No. Focusing on Crit "bets" that you will get insanely lucky with crit procs.

Focusing on DTR "bets" that the Crit build will be statistically average or worse*.

* Although I'm not as familiar with DoM scaling dynamics, so the DTR stack could potentially have already scaled CRT to the point where it's competitive. Shrug.
