You can even take 2 BLM instead of 2 ast and have 6 flare/freeze charges of 2*12k st + 8k aoe, 4 * 3stack superflare dot/stun and 2 fouls for 16k dmg, and their lb recharges almost twice as fast so if you have 2 drk's you can do it again every minute if both drk's rotate.

Great to have an ast in your raid, but 2 ast really isn't the top combo for drk, there are several other ones that are straight up better.
BLM may do more damage in total, but in execution of the DRK combo, you'd want as much damage in as little time as possible (before people use Guard). In that, AST does way more damage than BLM can reasonably output in that timeframe. Flare + Superflare (15000) or Foul (16000) vs Doublecast Gravity + Macrocosmos (28000).
