You don't need to do 1000s of ticks to see the min and max range of any DoT, though. The range isn't high enough, you'll get your min/max very quickly. Here's a few tests I did and it becomes quickly obvious what the range is after a few minutes:

i110 book: 575 INT, 75 WD, 284 DET. Bio II ticks: 105 - 116. Bio ticks: 120 - 133. Wind Blade: 257 - 284. Ruin: 240 - 265.
i115 book: 578 INT, 77 WD, 253 DET. Bio II ticks: 104 - 115. Bio ticks: 121 - 134. Wind Blade: 259 - 286. Ruin: 241 - 266.

I also did a little testing on my BLM with low potency spells to see if DET was just stronger on weaker spells, but on burst damage spells the damage DET added multiplied with the potency (B2 = 50 potency, Scathe normal damage = 100 potency, damage range basically doubled).

Regardless, i110 book isn't better than HA book in this case, but they're really, really close, perhaps a bit too close to get excited about for those who still have yet to get the book.
