I think the problem with Alexander Savage is that it is turned higher than FCoB was in terms of DPS requirement but not the raid-wide damage. Which is why tanks spend most of their time in DPS mode. Even the busters are kinda weird, like in A1S, the buster literally does twice the tank's HP but it is spread so far apart that the tank just throws all its CDs at it and survive with over 50% HP left. When you look at Revelation/Flatten which did 1k~2k more than max HP and was on a minute timer so you had to spare some CDs leaving you with barely enough HP to survive it.
