It doesn't matter how good of a DRG you are.

It is well documented that post-buff, DRG+NIN is the highest raid damage composition in a two melee party (assuming there will be a bard to benefit from Disembowel).

You say it's well documented? Do you have links by chance?

It's a bit misleading but, because of how high the burst damage of a DRG + NIN comp is, fights phase faster and thus making the fight shorter, and dps higher (shorter fight duration = more burst = more dps). A MNK's dps, while definitely stronger, takes a while to reach that point.

it's pretty simple to think about. MNK stacks get eaten during phase changes or mechanics and they have to earn them back (our team's mnk always sighs when he loses his stacks due to Charge in t10) which means lower DPS during that time. DRG and NIN don't have this issue in addition to having fewer restrictions on positionals.
So it becomes less "this combination creates the highest DPS!" and more "This combination gets gimped less by mechanics and thus has better DPS"

"Thinking about it" and "Documenting it" are quite the different thing, though. One sounds very much so like a fact, the other is unfortunately your opinion.

For example: You shouldn't be losing stacks on wild charge, if you know how to do your DPS in that phase (unless you get chosen for wild charge? Then you lose stacks I think. Not sure.)

Honestly, when looking at DPS, I tend to look more at ideal circumstances than at the outliers where the DPS falls due to a mechanic. Anyone will fall due to mechanicsDPS. I'd love some good documentation if you got it showing some actual math, though. ^_^

You can still save your stacks if you have shoulder tackle
