The only fights I see SMNs consistently beating BLMs are fights full of aoe opportunities (A2S), because BLM single target DPS is monstrous even when slightly gimped by movement or mechanics.
According to FFlogs, the only boss in Midas Savage that BLM is above SMN on is A7S. The difference is small on A5S and A6S, but in A8S SMN do a lot more DPS.
