The problem with this discussion is it came out BLM on Progression and "You should ignore adds like me cause I did it this way and my DPS is high." Why ignoring one of the most crucial mechanic of the fight. If the only solution to have competitive numbers to SMN is to risk the group further. You are giving me more arguments to reject BLM in progression.
Personalities like yours truly baffle me. I love having intelligent conversations with ppl who make sense and present it in a way that is motivating and understanding, instead of spiteful and ignorant. While your way of thinking may not be incorrect, that doesn't always make your way of thinking the only correct way. Plus you have contradicted yourself several times.

If my raid group has plenty of dps to kill adds, does my staying on the boss hurt the raid? Well, lets take an honest second and think about this. Lets take T5 conflag for example. Hypothetically, if my group can kill a conflag without my help and me staying on the boss, does this hurt the group as a whole? Maybe since my numbers are higher now, it might help push the phase before the next conflag comes out, inevitably ending the fight faster. You said, and I quote, "putting extra pressure on your raid group," and "risking the group." This seems like another contradiction. Are you saying that a BLM ingnoring a mechanic is forcing the other dps to elevate their level to make up for that? If you are such a Nazi when it comes to rules for raiding, shouldn't your fellow dps already be playing at the highest level possible at all times?

So if the other dps in my party are that good, and can take care of adds without my help, and allow me the oppurtunity to continue dpsing the boss, that sounds like a great group with some serious synergy. Much like how I would tell my melee in T12 to stay on the boss for bennus and I'll take care of those so they don't have to run around the arena. Was their higher numbers by not doing the mechanic a risk to our group? Nope! Helped us push the phase faster with less bennus which makes Phase 3 a hell of a lot easier. But according to you, the mechanic comes first. So I guess our way of doing it was wrong.
