That's all good and well on a Target Dummy and theory crafting. In practical actual use, this means nothing. I prefer simple +25% more damage over overcomplicating things. Far more reliable DMG increase in actual complicated fights where there's mechanics and shit to do.

And yes, you're right, was out DPSing Shield Oathed PLDs, so kinda pointless point is pointless. Though, I would still state that while a PLD "may" out DPS a WAR in OT, that WAR are better OTs for a couple reasons. We still maintain GOOD DPS as OT, our Debuffs generate no enmity, thus messing with tank swap based fights, and our DoT too. PLDs are just better MT, since their CDs are bit better and generally take less dmg (even if we have a lot more HP).
