Everyone has something they're comfortable or not comfortable with.
Again, you can be more comfortable with one than the other, but one is going to give you higher throughput than the other. It may differ based on the fight, but one WILL be superior to the other, and that's not something that can be changed unless stats/skills are changed. For example, let's pretend that, for fight X, set #1 gives 500 DPS and set #2 gives 520 DPS. Set #2 is clearly better. You might prefer set #1 because you're more comfortable with that stat allocation, but you are not maximizing your potential.

It's similar to Fire and Arcane Mages right now on WoW. As you can see below, both Fire and Arcane are very good choices, and are only a few percent apart. However, in a Patchwerk style boss fight, it is clear that Arcane is the superior choice. There's no debate, it's just math.
