Well, it's not necessarily an overall DPS boost, depending on what classes you have. BLM is the only one that really gets a large benefit from Selene; everyone else (and the melee in particular) are hurting for resources anyway.

Where it IS a DPS boost is in short timer mechanics - aka kill this in 20-30 seconds or bad things happen. There it's a measureable and meaningful increase, because assuming you go in with enough resources, it increases the number of skills you can execute prior to the bad things. Over the duration of an entire fight, however, the limiting factor isn't the number of abilities you can fit in but rather the TP or MP required to fuel those abilities. If you are waiting on TP, Selene could give infinity skill speed and it wouldn't matter.

I'm not saying don't use Selene; but I am saying there are reasons she might not make as big an impact as you assume.
