It's the way of contributing to the raid DPS that change, but in the end, the result should be pretty much the same.
I think in a roundabout way he is trying to say that if BLM rDPS = RDM rDPS just as an example then BLM would actually be stronger because rDPS not only adds DPS contributions to the buffers but subtracts them from the buffee, so if BLM = RDM when RDM applies a buff then theoretically a party comprised of no buffers would be objectively stronger

So I think the best way to say it would be rDPS if buffing classes should equal aDPS of the selfish classes (aDPS on DPS still runs into devilment cards and left eye but is more accurate)
