And without substantial numbers, information and data to back up any of your claims, yes it is opinion. It may be correct, who's to say and you're certainly entitled to voice it however loudly you want, but without a direct comparison against, let's say, Gormogon vs whatever DPS you want, or Myself vs whoever you want, it's still an open opinion without anything to validate it against. If you want to compare data between someone random vs another random great, that's still not really doing anything to help that cause, because who's to say whats going on there. Maybe one messed up their own rotations, perhaps there was movement involved that prevents the DPS from staying in optimal position, or causes the BLM to slow down, etc.

Unless you can put two people against each other in a situation where they both start off at the same time, with the same constants, you truly cannot argue 'who's better', because there's variables going on that affect it.

Now, all of that said. In an all out match between let's say, a Monk and a Black Mage, against one mob, where both can remain in an optimal place/stance and just use their own combinations nonstop, it comes down again to chance. How often does the Monk get a crit versus the black mage's own TC/FS proc and crits. Then it can also come down to endurance. Mnk/Drg have Invigorate to give themselves back some TP, but BLMs are sitting on virtually infinite MP if they use their rotations and mp ticks properly.
