No, adding a SP at the start is a waste of a gcd after obtaining GL3, which you do exactly the same way I do.
Which is any variation of DM->SP->SP. Exactly the same. Form Shift doesnt matter. Additional SP don't matter.
If you weave PB or not doesn't matter either, the assumption is that you hit your first move on pull & then every gcd after.
Maybe I'm just not getting what you're trying to say, if so I'm sorry. Would help if you recorded or provided some math.

Edit: I see. The misunderstanding comes from this: I personally do not use ST at the start, it is more optimized to walk in with the tank (pull macro) and hit DM as soon as he pulls.

So yes,

ST > DM (PB) > SP > SP
is more optimized than
ST > PB > DM > SP > SP

is correct.
