DNC buffs in total equate on average to 1000 extra dps. So that 8.7k is really 9.7k but still way behind other classes if you also factor in their raid contributions as well.

I'm sorry but I dont see how you get that a 5% dps buff can jump a BLM up 2k dps. At best a BLM that can pull 12k unbuffed would get an extra 700 dps because of you which is basically the 500-600 above from standard and 100 dps from technical. Dnc buffs aren't adding 2k dps to a single player from a 5% buff.

TLDR- Dancer's total extra party contribution is on average only 1k dps in the standard party. 1.2k dps in high end parties. With them being 1k or more behind every other job, their buffs do not make up for this.
You forgot Devilment. That is also utility that boosts DPS.
So many DNCs complaining they aren't high DPS and only use Standard and Technical finish as their raid contribution. So either they are afraid to add in Devilment because it will invalidate their own points, or they aren't using it. In which case, they should be kicked from the party.
