How is SMN overall dps?

[ShinryuReishiki]

DET increases Garuda's Damage twice as much as Ifrit's. i.e. 22 DET gave my Ifrit a 2 DPS gain, where as it gave Garuda a 4 DPS gain. (i120 weapon)

I tried the same two gear sets with Garuda. Ifrit seems to benefit slightly more. Burning Strike and Wind Blade both did about 6-7% more damage with +129 Det, but Ifrit's auto attacks did about 12-13% more damage, which results in about 8% overall.

80 MD, 597 Int, 424 Det (http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/P32Z)
- Auto-Attack: 117-130
- Burning Strike: 211-234
- Wind Blade: 302-333

80 MD, 597 Int, 295 Det (http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/P331)
- Auto-Attack: 104-115
- Burning Strike: 199-220
- Wind Blade: 282-311

Not factoring in critical hits, Rouse, Spur, Enkindle, debuffs...

Ifrit (424): 115.33 DPS
Ifrit (295): 106.33 DPS
Difference: 9 (+8.46%)

Garuda (424): 105.83 DPS
Garuda (295): 98.83 DPS
Difference: 7 (+7.04%)

Wow, no idea why I ended up with the results I did. I let each set run for 20 minutes and I ran them twice each just to make sure, since it was such a difference between pets.

I didn't remove any crit data, but I'd think that would even out over 20 minutes.
