    Bishop: 60 Potency per 3 seconds, over 30s is 600 Potency x # of targets.

    To add onto that, 30 TP per 3 seconds with the natural 60 TP tick results in 90 TP per 3 seconds, meaning 360 TP over 12 seconds which is 240 Potency x # of targets.
    Bishop Turret would have 240 Potency x # of targets over 12 seconds, so it doesn't really matter I guess.
    of course since most aoe'ing is done in party content you must also consider your party members, so TP regen might net more dps if say your other dps was a DRG or a NIN, were as a BLM won't need the tp :3

    See, I thought about this but realized something important. With the natural 60 tp per 3 seconds tic, that means over 12 seconds you gain 240 tp, so worst case scenario enough for at least 3 single attacks amounting to 420.And that is on top of your aoe turret's 240 potency. So that means a gain of 420 potency over switching turrets (Since just running with the melee turret going is 240 potency per 12 seconds). The only reason I could see sacrificing that 420 potency would if you were in a raid/boss and emptied your tp with aoeing a group of adds and you had other tp user DPS in the group as well. In that situation you would all need the tp since the fight would be continuing for awhile still.
