How to Dragoon per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[ryuuken]

so I've got a few paths I can go, but just wanted to throw out the question and see what others think as well. also as a little background, I'm a monk main that recently switched to DRG for raiding purposes. this also unfortunately means I am 5 weeks of esoterics behind (i200 weapon and chest on monk).

so I picked up my esoterics chest piece, used the first twine on it, and that's all good. in one of the a3s kills though I managed to also get the Gordian pants. my luck has been pretty garbage since the start of alex savage, and I just see fending loot literally every week, so haven't obtained Gordian headpiece, or Gordian feet, which would be ideal pickups.

Currently using:

Antiquated Brionac
Prototype Head
210 Eso Chest
Gordian Gloves
Prototype Belt
Gordian Pants
Prototype Feet
Gordian Neck
Gordian Earrings
Prototype Wrist
Gordian Ring
Fabled(210) Eso Ring

Secondary stat distribution so far is pretty garbage, and I'm really low on skill speed.

The question is:

This week I will have exactly 495 esoterics at cap, and can use my next twine and pick up the eso helm, which would give me +9 str, and some much needed skill speed.

Do I pick up the helm and use a twine on it?

Or wait another week to get the esoterics to get the pants and use the twine on that. It would be an appropriate side-grade, but I just wasn't sure if it was worth doing since I have the Gordian pants currently. Hopefully this week sees head and/or feet drop for me, but I've given up expecting or hoping for drops, but just wanted some feedback from others to see what a good idea would be.

Personally, I have the i210 gordian pants and still use the i200 eso pants. In my opinion, the eso pants are just leagues better. I remember doing the math and even unupgraded, the eso pants outweigh the gordian pants for DPS. A lot of your problems seem to be high acc and low SKS, and the eso pants would solve that. It's what I'd do but there may be a mathematically better option (helm, feet, etc...)
