I don't quite get what you mean xD
if you mean letting the DoT run its full course. then as a DRG doing the rotation of fame, that is actually a DPS loss overall.
other Jobs let them run the full course and try to avoid clipping.
Rotation of fame clip Dis and CT at about 6 second-ish I think(not halfway like I said first, my bad)

pretty much every job that has a dot i keep it refreshed before it hits 0 unless the mob is @ 2%. This includes drg, war, brd, blm, whm (unless the tank needs heals) smn, sch(unless the tank needs heals) nin (unless a person needs goad) I never needed to look this up, i never needed a parser to tell me this. I knew thing since -thinks- like forever. honestly that shou;ld be considered common knowledge especially if u know how the parser works which from what i was told factors in all personal dmg including dots and factors themj out into a ratio. it personally shouldn't matter, as long as the dot is up it still factors into the dmg.

what I meant is, DoTs are normally done by not letting it drop but also not clipping it so it does the full tick.
which is actually how DRGs pre-HW and other jobs have been doing it so far.
The DRG rotation of fame(lvl 60 + BoTD up) though, clips on purpose so the DoTs don't do their full tick.
There is a rotation when BoTD is up that doesn't clip and doesn't let DoTs fall off, but that rotation is a DPS loss compared to the optimum one.

And using your way of thinking which is the normal way of thinking, you wouldn't be using the best rotation because it clips the DoT. Because it goes against the normal way of thinking which is not to clip DoTs and to let it run it's full course for the full damage/tick.

maybe xD
My point after all those posts was, sometimes doing something that feels right/intuitive does not mean that you're doing things the best/right way.
Hard numbers, knowledge and information is the only way to objectively know what the best rotation, mechanics etc is.
