As this level of perfection is not possible, you would naturally want to go higher. The slowest that most people find they are able to hit 5 GCDs under Blood Weapon is 2.40 GCD, however, after my own testing in a tank DPS calculator, this comes out to a mere 10 DPS gain over 2.38 GCD with the slightly higher SkS (and thus more comfy & lenient BW timings). What this means is that the lowest GCD timer you should be aiming for at all is 2.40, however this also depends on fights as well. For instance, if you are running 2.40 and the boss does a mechanic during your opener which means you have to back away and miss a GCD under raid buffs, but you are able to hit that GCD under raid buffs before leaving the boss at 2.38 then you have an overall DPS gain by using 2.38 over 2.40 (this is a situation that occurs in Titania EX, for instance).

TL;DR SkS is good and your understandings of the job/stats are flawed.
In that case, you aren't that good at timing GCD presses...
