WHM might be meta

[Sighearth]

Hm interesting but I dont think WHM will do 1.3x SCH dps. They will do more ofc, but not that much of difference, lets look in WHM and SCH potencies for 1 min dpsing (24 gcds) (assuming both have the same magic damage)

24 GCDs ( 1min)
------------------------------------------
aero3 x 2.5 -> 2.5 * 370 = 925
Assize x 1 = 300
StoneIV x 21.5 = 5590
WHM total => 5590 + 925 + 300 = 6815 potency/min
---------------------------------------------
SCH: 24 GCDs
Bio2 x 2 -> 350 * 2 = 700
Miasma x 2.5 -> 300 * 2,5 = 750
Energy Drain x 3 -> 150 * 3 = 450
1 x Shadow flare = 250
Broil2 x 19.5 -> 230 * 19.5 = 4485
SCH total => 6635 potency/min

That means the WHM can do 180 potency/min more than SCH. Now if we count chain strategem we get 20% more crit for 15 seconds with 90 secs cd, lets assume that this buff have 100% up time ( which means the duration goes 6x higher and the crit chance 6 x lower to maintain the proportion) that mean we will have 3.3% more crit for 90 seconds with 90 seconds cd (100% uptime). What is better to bring? 180 extra potency/min or 3.3% more crit for the entire fight?

Lets assume the fight have a duration of 10 min, so WHM would bring 10 x 180 = extra 1800 potency. for 10 min we would have 24 * 10 = 240 gcds, with 3.3% crit it is expected that we get around 3 critted gcds for every 100 gcds, which for 240 gcds means approximately 7 gcds should crit for every person in the party. So is 8 x 7 = 56 gcds should crit ( for the entire 10 min duration encounter) because of the SCH buff, for every crit will have 50% more potency for that gcd, which means 56 gcds will have 50% more potency.

Now this part gets tricky, because higher the potency, higher the 50% increase will be so it will depends of those gcds that the entire party will use. For that increase to surpass the 1800 extra potency from the WHM, the sum of all increased potencies of those 56 gcds must be higher than 1800 as follows: 56 x 0.5 (potency) > 1800
0.5 x potency > 1800 / 56
potency > 32.14 / 0.5
potency > 64.2

We can see that by doing : 64.2 potency with crit is 96.3 ( 64.2 * 1.5) that means we get extra 32.1 potency per gcd, now making it for those 56 gcds we have 56 * 32.1 = 1797.6 which is less than 1800 as the proof.
Ok if we get the next whole number potency = 65 potency we get (65 * 1.5 = 97.5) so (97.5 - 65 = 32.5) now, (32.5 * 56 = 1820 potency) ( which is higher than 1800).

My conclusion: If every party member can use a gcd with 65 potency or higher than SCH will contribute more to dps than the extra potencies that WHM have. As 65 potency is a pretty low value, I dont see WHM getting over SCH in the meta from the DPS perspective.
