Well, yeah, this is assumed. We all know that training dummy parses don't represent how jobs will perform in a raid. Or at least, I'd hope we would...

The sad thing is, with GB and WM being what they are, BRD and MCH DPS is practically guaranteed to be worse in a raid setting, especially if they buff both stances down the line and make it a requirement. They'd have to have ENORMOUS bonuses to compensate for the loss of auto attacks and BLM-style casting interruptions.
