Let me tell you why this logic doesn't work.

Without Kaiten, you still have immense amounts of "Choice" to improve your DPS. You've only lost a sliver.

You have six different base GCD actions you can use. In a boss fight lasting approximately 10 minutes, or 600 seconds, you have, about, 240 slots for GCDs. 270ish with the speed bonus, and every amount in between depending on when you apply and how often you keep up your speed bonus.

So at the basic level, you've already got 270 * 6 or 1620 choices to make. Multiply that by (240 * 6) and that's where you sit without any haste bonus at all. Double that amount if we include damage bonus. Double it once more if we have a run with no combo actions.

Double it again if we have a run with half of the actions used perform a combo bonus.

Double it once more if only the first 120 actions use combo bonuses.

Double it again for the run where you use Kenki. Double it again for the one you don't.

Look at all these optimization choices you can still make. I'm not even a tenth of the way through potential choices you could make and Kaiten isn't even in the a twinkle in your eye.

Oh, lets not forget the run where you hit zero GCDs. Bold strategy, but who am I to argue with choice?
