Summoner with raging strike + balance card will be dealing 30% more damage on Deathflare, turning 400 potency into 520 potency AOE on all mobs...
I don't quite have what you're asking for but I can say that, leveling AST and trying it out in some level 60 dungeons-- timed buffs can be quite powerful. It's not particularly reflected in encDPS but it can be very bursty. If you're curious to try it yourself, try running stuff with DPS you know well and maybe have ACT help you track their rotation (but you'll still need to be somewhat familiar with it).
