I wish battles wouldn't punish us for doing too much damage

[Ultimatecalibur]

Playing a job to it's fullest potential should be rewarding, not punishing. There's no "challenge" in just putting your weapon away and doing nothing because you're too good at doing what DPS are supposed to do: damage.

A "good" DpS has mastered the rotation that does the most damage. A Great DpS knows when and where adds will spawn, when mechanics starts occurring and how to deal with them, what abilities can and should be interrupted, how to avoid or mitigate AoEs, and deals enough damage that the fight does not break and cause a wipe.
