Parsing unfair but okay?

It's a dip in DPS that any smart static leader will be able to go "ah, that's why the drop there" and will move on and not use that dip against you solely because you used the LB3. If you use your LB3 in the middle of your high burst phase, the LB3 could lower your DPS. So wait until the end of the burst phase unless you believe the boss will die before you get it off otherwise. And then maybe it won't ding you or as much.

As for others not using it, it simply could be that they normally play a caster DPS or tank or heal and are on a melee class they haven't played in a while and forgot they can. Or they got absorbed in their rotation and forgot to use the LB3. And if you're a melee and the other DPS are either ranged or caster, they're likely expecting you to LB3. Heck even if there are other melees. They may be thinking you'll LB3. I primarily play Black Mage so my LB usage is mainly an LB1 trash pulls and not the LB3 - though I will take it if offered.

It’s written in the contract every melee secretly signs. If there are multiple melee players, the one doing the least damage has the shameful responsibility of using lb3.

It’s why melee players fight so hard to top damage. They don’t want to be the one shamed with the lb3 duty.

If it looks nice, I volunteer to do it the moment I'm back in my 123 wet noodle phase.
DRG LB3? 100% mine, don't even try to snatch it. I don't care if someone was floor tanking while I was top DPS, that LB3 is mine.
When I'm on RDM, just wait for the next mechanic with lots of markers and you're guaranteed to get my flashy shameful responsibility burned into your retina forever.
