there might be a problem with your parser or your groups then. I often see people at 750-800 on Ravana, even though the average on my runs is around 650-700.
I know when to utilize my berserk, and when I do I fit in a triple fell cleave with full Str accessories. There are only 4 liberation phases and the first + second liberation phases are quite close to each other, no chance you'll have berserk up for both. Plus, Ravana jumps a lot you'll have to deal with mechanics in meanwhile.

What I'm saying is, 650 DPS on a dummy is like, really really bad for a WAR, even with full VIT accessory and a i170 weapon you would deal more than that. Plus, you never do more damage during a ravana fight than on a dummy parse. According to your logic, Dragoons should deal 1300+ DPS during Ravana Ex, but they don't. So yeah, I would definitely check your parser first. If you are doing unmerged parses where the downtimes are being cut off, you would naturally end up with higher DPS...
