You didn't get the point of the example...
If there are 2 DRGs the debuff duration will not be used to the fullest, because both DRGs MUST use the skill that applies the debuff.
They CAN'T skip it. Because they want to use the DoT Weaponskill that comes afterwards, and their new 4th weaponskill as well.

NIN can totally suppress the use of DE to favor the use of AE instead.
