Paladin can actually hit 4740 + CoS ticks in its 5 gcd burst and can do this every minute.

550 (Requiescat) + 1.5*(350(Holy Spirit)*4+800(Confiteor))+ 370 (Spirits Within) + 120 (Circle of Scorn) + 200*2 (Intervene)

Dark Knight Currently alternates between a potential 5555 potency burst and a 4840 potency burst due to Carve and Spit and Abyssal Drain not lining up with Delirium.

1.1*(600*5 (Delirium Bloodspillers) + 450(Carve and Spit) + 200(Abyssal Drain) + 500*2 (Edge of Shadow) + 200*2 (Plunge))

1.1*(600*5 (Delirium Bloodspillers) + 500*2 (Edge of Shadow) + 200*2 (Plunge))

Your suggestion would drop the burst down to 4565 and 4235 unless they chose to potentially handicap their sustained dps.

In comparison the other two tanks 10s burst windows deal:

Gunbreaker: 5868 - 1.2*(500*2 (Burst Strike) + 800 (Blasting Zone) + 200 (Bow Strike) + 450 (Gnashing Fang) + 260 (Rip) + 550 (Savage Claw) + 280 (Tear) + 650 (Wicked Talon) + 300 (Gouge) + 200*2 (Rough Divide))
Warrior: ~6562 - ~1.5*1.25*(590*5 (Fell Cleave) + 450 (Upheaval) +100 (Onslaught))
