Even at 389 I sometimes struggle making it to the second invigorate without bottoming out a little before. At 440 you are going to be bled dry 20 seconds before you get to your second. That is a TP life time of almost 2:40/2:45. I hope that was a typo or something, that is how you effectively kill your DPS.
Which is why I make it to the second invigorate every time on my NIN and MNK with 440+ SKS, right? Because I can't last that long? MNK has it worse and I get an invig at 2:55 or so, on the last GCD before I'd be waiting for a tick.

Time your invig better, seriously you can get 4:00 parses really easily if you learn to master the first invig.
