It's not about it having more dps weight, it's the fact that what we have as Parry right now, which is a substat that gives us zero DPS returns, will in turn become a stat that will give us DPS increases. We're literally gaining a DPS increse where there was none before, and in quite a significant burst too. Look at how much Parry you have right now, which can't be lower than 300 even if you have no Parry at all in your gear: this will stop being dead weight and will become a source of DPS come Stormblood.

I think the reversal to Str-based damage was done to compensate for this additional source of DPS modifiers.
