For me I think Drg is a bit faster than sam with consistent damage while samurai is slow buuut super burst
BiS SAM runs a 2.14 GCD and weaves a hell of a lot to dump excess Kenkei with Shinten to avoid overcapping, ensure Iaijutsu is buffed with Kaiten, dump Sen with Hagakure to keep rotation aligned, etc. As a result, it has ~42 APM as mentioned up above, while DRG is sitting at ~36 APM. DRG runs a much slower GCD at 2.50, has a lot less double weaves, and just less weaves in general given the length of their cooldowns.
