Top DPS in you t5 clearing groups?

Seriously... why do people still think this is a valid justification? Damage is only meaningful in relation to the GCD. Lose a GCD while dodging? You lost a GCD of potential damage. Having a DoT up has absolutely no effect on that.

Obviously, because I have no Endgame experience as SMN... and People keep saying that a SMN does most damage by his DoTs´,... so feel free to correct me.

Sure.

The reason why movement doesn't impede Summoners as much is not because their damage is DoT-centric. It's because their normal casted filler damage (Ruin) is so craptastic that moving doesn't hurt them as much as BLMs (and they replace it with Ruin2, which is basically the same with a higher mana cost).

It's just design coincidence that DoT-centric classes tend to have stronger DoT damage per cast GCD and weaker direct damage filler abilities compared to direct-damage-centric classes.
