It's not 3%, or rather, you can recover ~300 DPS (of the 900 DPS that was the total nerf to the job) by optimizing hammer and not using it unless absolutely required for mobility.

300 DPS over a 12 minute fight is 216000 damage. That's an absolutely marginal amount, in particular comparing the 21.4 million damage you've already dealt. 21.4 -> 21.2 by using the hammer as before. If that wiped your group, they never deserved to defeat the boss to begin with. (Of course are correct in that the motif is even less, it's in the order of random crit variance on a single Rainbow Drip)
