You're correct when you say that "it is no longer sustained DPS"

With that in mind, when comparing sustained DPS of classes, do you compare:
sustained DPS vs sustained DPS

Or:
sustained DPS vs "no longer sustained DPS"
I really cannot tell if you are trolling, but maybe an analogy will help.

Let's say a WHM and SCH walk up and say I can build a taller stable tower out of jenga blocks than you! They proceed to start building and the WHM is definitely higher than the SCH"s. However once it reached 3 feet it fell over and the SCH just kept going and hit up to 4.5 feet. The WHM at the end says, 'well we aren't comparing stable tower anymore because mine fell over, so I had the taller stable tower."

The fact that the SCH can sustain high DPS for longer than the WHM due to MP constraints is why the SCH has higher sustained DPS.
